Fujitsu Primergy to offer Solaris option

Sun Microsystems has announced that they are now collaborating with Fujitsu Siemens Computers to offer their Solaris operating system on their Fujitsu Primergy servers.

The two companies said that Solaris would be offered on Intel x/86/x64 boxes.

Herb Hinstoff, Sun director of Solaris marketing spoke about this new development: “We are essentially one of the three big OSs that run on the Intel architecture right now, the other two being the Microsoft family and the Linux family.”

Fujitsu has been supporting the Solaris OS on their SPARC-based servers.

They would now join other PC manufacturers including Intel, IBM, Dell and Sun itself which are now offering Solaris powered server products.
