All: Sun fully supports Merced. The big question is whether Sun will have to offer an Intel server in 1998? Considering the current momentum, ??? joey Sun To Join Intel-Inside Club (11/07/97; 8:00 p.m. EST) By Mary Hayes, InformationWeek Sun is working on a partnership with Intel that calls for Sun Solaris to fully support Intel's next-generation Merced chip. The companies plan to announce the agreement as early as next week, according to sources close to Sun. Most Solaris systems are based on Sun's UltraSparc RISC chips -- a platform that could face stiff competition when Intel and Hewlett-Packard deliver the Merced chip sometime over the next two years. Merced is a hybrid of Intel's x86 technology and HP's PA-RISC chip. Sun has already made moves to align itself with the Intel camp, announcing in August an agreement for NCR to offer Solaris/Intel servers. Scott McNealy, Sun's chairman and CEO, said last month that the company is working on similar agreements with other computer manufacturers. In addition, Sun will announce Solaris Enterprise Server, a version of the Solaris operating system that will contain the most 64-bit capabilities to date for Solaris. Sun announced earlier this year that with the release of Solaris 2.6, it would offer modular versions of its operating system designed for specific uses. Solaris Enterprise follows a version of the operating system customized for Intranet use that was announced in July. The company will also announce JavaOS 1.1 for the JavaStation, a version of the operating system that's compliant with the Java Development Kit 1.1. The operating system will let Sun ship this month the "full deployment" version of its JavaStation, which for the past year has been used primarily in technical pilot programs. Systems equipped with JavaOS 1.1 will be able to operate Java programs written in JDK 1.1.
