dmf, re:"It's my understanding Intel is offering it's customers a choice of hardware and software. Intel should be in a good position to suggest and assist customers in making the transition from Sun to Intel. The server farms are a way of getting customers who they can migrate to their own platform.

Does anyone know what percentage of customers use Intel and Sun platforms in Intel's server farm at Santa Clara?"

The answer is not as simple as the question. Intel does deploy a variety of hardware in the datacenters, mostly a reflection of the equipment the customers where using themselves before they made the choice to outsource to Intel. Sun Microsystems platforms do appear in some of these legacy customer environments. Mostly in the larger back-end systems.

So, the answer to your question is: yes, there's some Sun hardware in the Intel datacenters. In truth, its not very much. Certainly, Intel based servers are preferred for new deployments and there's an opportunity to migrate the legacy stuff over time to Intel based solutions where they exist.

In the end, I think Intel Online Services highest priority is to grow is customer base, and deliver the highest possible service. So far, that seems to be working.
