One of the problems with Silicon Graphics was that, despite having some really scalable solutions, they never really focussed and sold into corporate data centres. HPC, sure, visualiation, no worries – but all those people buying Sun F15ks who needed big iron for that data warehouse? No chance.
Looks like the Rackable chaps have the right idea, though, and are taking the range of SGI solutions to town:
SGI (R) (NASDAQ:SGI), today announced that Mark Barrenechea, president & CEO, and Jim Wheat, chief financial officer, will participate in the UBS Global Technology and Services Conference in New York on Monday, June 8, 2009. Mark Barrenechea will present on behalf of SGI at 3:45 p.m. Eastern Time.
