Intel Investors - Network Appliance is now using INTEL Pentium IIIs in their new Storage Devices.
" The new platforms combine ServerWorks' core logic, 64-bit PCI technology and Intel Pentium® III processors to deliver up to eight times the capacity and 3.5 times the throughput of low-end and mid-range NetApp systems. "
Looks like Intel/Pentium III is now displacing the Alpha CPUs used in their older devices.
Oh....ServerWorks supplies the chip sets - not Intel - but the real money comes from the Intel Processors !

ServerWorks Powers Network Appliance' F840 Enterprise Filers to New Levels of Performance and Scalability
New Systems Mark First Use of ServerWorks Technology in Storage Appliances
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 18, 2000--ServerWorks Corp., the leading independent supplier of high-performance core logic for Intel®-based servers, today announced that Network Appliance, Inc., the leading provider of network-attached data access and content management solutions, has selected ServerWorks' ServerSet' III technology for use in its recently announced NetApp® F840 and F840c storage appliance filers. The new platforms combine ServerWorks' core logic, 64-bit PCI technology and Intel Pentium® III processors to deliver up to eight times the capacity and 3.5 times the throughput of low-end and mid-range NetApp systems.
Network Appliance pioneered the concept of the ``network appliance,'' an extension of the industry trend toward dedicated, specialized products that perform a single function. Unlike general-purpose systems based on Unix®, Linux® or Windows® technologies, NetApp filers incorporate the innovative Data ONTAP(TM) operating system that optimizes performance, data protection, and reliability. The recently announced F840 and F840c systems mark the company's first use of Pentium III technology in its appliance products.
``Network Appliance strives to deliver powerful and cost effective data management solutions that are reliable and simple to deploy,'' observed Dave Hitz, vice president of engineering at Network Appliance. ``In the past, we've employed custom-designed hardware to achieve this goal. By leveraging ServerWorks' design expertise and standard product set, we've enhanced our competitive position, price/performance characteristics, and time-to-market advantage. Working with ServerWorks, we've extended the applicability of the storage appliance concept to support the most demanding, I/O-intensive, and high-capacity enterprise applications. The ServerWorks core logic lets us reach new levels of performance, capacity, and reliability with an industry-standard solution.''
``Server appliances represent a huge growth opportunity for the server market in general, and the Intel-based server market in particular,'' commented Raju Vegesna, ServerWorks president and CEO. ``We are pleased that we can now add Network Appliance, the company that created this product category, to our list of customers. We look forward to working with Network Appliance to drive the growth of their business and ours as we deliver ever-increasing performance and value to server users around the world.''
