Sun start-up builds Web 2.0 servers

A START-UP founded by former Sun computer scientists is to use IBM and Intel hardware to build servers specifically to handle Web 2.0 businesses.

Schooner Information Technology says that it is building IBM System x3650 M2 servers outfitted with Intel Nehalem processors and 512GB arrays of Intel SSDs which will be in the shops by the end of May.

The outfit said that it wants to get out of the concept of flogging boxes and networking. It thinks that you can get shedloads of performance if you run the two technologies as an 'organic whole'. µ
