"Code named "Razor," the RLX servers – which will be introduced and shipped during the first half of this year – will incorporate the Transmeta™ Crusoe© x86-compatible microprocessor and support Linux, Microsoft Windows 2000 ServerTM and other leading operating systems. " "Every five to ten years, new technologies come together at the right time to address key strategic issues in the marketplace. Stories concerning energy, economics and the environment are covering the front pages and airways of our leading newspapers, magazines and broadcast mediums. With the powerful combination of the RLX unique system server design and other engineering advances, we have created a new class of server to meet these marketplace challenges head on," said Gary Stimac, CEO of RLX Technologies. What really is truly amazing how this confluence of technologies and people that have been fired from other companies can come together at an auspicious time, amass more buzzword terms than are known to Mankind, pump up some investor capital and create an IPO for: .....A BATTERY OPERATED SERVER!!!! :))))

Glad to be of some help. -- IBM, Compaq In Storage Deal Vendors to launch hardware, software bundle this month By Joseph F. Kovar, CRN Armonk, N.Y. 5:34 PM EST Fri., Feb. 02, 2001 IBM this month plans to unveil a hardware and software storage bundle in conjunction with one of its hardware rivals and storage partners,Compaq Computer. The bundle is aimed at helping solution providers integrate SANs in midrange clients. IBM plans to unveil the package Feb. 21, just before the Partnerworld conference in New Orleans, scheduled for Feb. 15-28. The bundle, part of IBM's new TotalStorage Solution Selling program, is based on the Modular Storage Server. It is IBM's version of the MA8000 array OEMed from Compaq under a cross-selling agreement the companies signed last July. IBM hopes to increase its storage business through its channel partners, says Denise Buonaiuto, IBM vice president of business partner sales worldwide for storage. IBM sells 45 percent of its storage via partners, up from 34 percent early last year, and those sales are growing 25 percent per year, according to Buonaiuto. But IBM is not specifically going after the Compaq installed base, she says. "IBM and Compaq wanted the relationship to grow markets for both of us," she says. "We don't think it's necessary to go after the same customers." IBM will help business partners market the SAN bundles, Buonaiuto says. Pat Kelly, president of Pinnacle Computer Solutions, a Sugar Land, Texas, solution provider, says he is interested in the bundle, especially if IBM prices are lower than the price of the original components.
