Intel Sees Better Second Half, 'Very Different' Company Ahead Bloomberg News June 29, 1999, 12:57 a.m. PT Paris, June 29 (Bloomberg) -- Intel Corp., the world's biggest computer chipmaker, expects a better second half compared with the first and expects the semiconductor market to improve from last year, Chief Executive Craig Barrett told French financial newspaper Les Echos in an interview. Intel will be a very different company in a few years as it plans to take part in the development of the Internet economy -- Intel has widened its activity to services, thanks to LevelOne and is planning other acquisitions that should generate several billion dollars in sales within a few years. Intel, which has stakes in about 250 companies, has a strategy of buying assets to gain access to a technology that directly influences or complements its product line, Barrett said. Intel said Monday it will invest $48 million in an Internet server center in London to establish its first electronic- commerce hub outside the U.S. (Les Echos 15 6/29; www.lesechos.fr)

Paul, good article "Intel to launch major ISP strategy." Interestingly, ISPs will also become an important market for generic "white box" servers manufactured by Intel. The company currently sells one-, two-, and four-processor servers in limited numbers. Sales will likely expand under the program as ISPs will need to expand their own server banks, Swinnen said. I wonder how these white box servers are packaged: 1. As nodes built into racks, maybe with RAID storage, fibre channel switches, UPSs, etc., but whose racks? Dell, Compaq, IBM? 2. As turnkey servers with "intel outside"? Never saw one of those. 3. ? Do you know, Paul? Tony
