Blogging Roller

Tonight's the night to meet-up at Cafe Cyclo. As usual: Josh has the details.

Linda Skrocki: Another cool thing about the [Network Computing launch] event in NYC is the Blogs Engineering team was asked to participate. So, if you're there, stop by the OpenSource pods. Allen, blogs.sun.com/Roller Engineer, will be there (probably in a suit...someone please snap a picture) to answer your blogs/Roller questions and will demo some of the new Roller stuff recently released.

The name Quarterly Network Computing Launch makes it sound a bit routine, boring even, but this is a big BIG day for Sun. Here's what Schwartz wrote on his blog about the new Sun Fire T2000 and T1000 servers being launched today:

<a href= "http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/jonathan?entry=our_most_valuable_intellectual_property"> Jonathan Schwartz: A computer that runs five times faster than Dell and HP's fastest Xeon systems. A computer that's one quarter the size. That runs Solaris, and will run Linux and *BSD (and even Windows isn't out of the question). Based on a 9.6 Ghz 8-core Niagara chip available in volume, and compatible with the $120 billion dollar SPARC installed base. A computer that runs the internet like it was purpose built for search, for voice over IP, for video streams and web services and database transactions.
