Sun launches streaming solution
http://www.itjungle.com/breaking/bn042607-story01.html
Server maker Sun Microsystems this week used the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City as a springboard to launch its new Streaming System, a cluster of application servers and storage servers and a new video stream switch, marking its entry into a market that one of the company’s co-founders and current chief X64 system architect, Andy Bechtolsheim, was getting set to chase when Sun acquired a startup that he founded called Kealia.
Bechtolsheim was Sun’s original chief technology officer when the workstation originator and Unix server giant was founded back in 1985. A decade later, he left Sun to start a company called Granite Systems, which made Gigabit Ethernet switches, which he sold in 1996 to Cisco Systems for $200 million. Bechtolsheim stayed on at Cisco for a few years, but then left to start Kealia in February 2001, which was rumored to be working on video server and networking technologies. Until Sun bought Kealia in February 2004, just before announcing its broad support for Opteron processors and its plans for the “Galaxy” line of servers, no one knew anything else about Kealia except for its address in Palo Alto, California.
Very cool, check out Sun’s new streaming system? It’s Linux based using X64 system architecture, haven’t read up that much about it, but it does look very cool, and offering it on X64 architecture running Linux has to open new markets in the new media market away from Mac/IBM (in particular their QS20 Cell blade). Check it out.
