Server maker Unisys has hired away a top executive from Hewlett-Packard‘s Business Critical Systems division to take over the management of its own Systems & Technology Group.

Rich Marcello, who had a long career at the former Digital Equipment and who stayed in charge of various server units as Digital was eaten by Compaq in 1998 and then Compaq was eaten by HP in 2001, is now president of the Unisys Systems & Technology Group, and reports directly to Unisys president and chief executive officer, Joe McGrath. Marcello is replacing Leo Daiuto, who has spent 39 years at Unisys (and its predecessors) and is now retiring.

Very cool, I wonder if this will bring any new developments to the Unisys server offering?

Will it mean an extension of the platforms, the range of servers available? We’ll need to see, I’ve yet to play with a Unisys server, they do look very cool, the ES7000 looks like a great virtualization/batch or grid box due to its scalability and form factor.
