IBM® Arms Itself for the NT Market... |
| In the March 4, 1998 issue of Enterprise Computing, it was reported by IBM's Vice President of NT Solutions Marketing, Richard Sullivan, that IBM is arming itself to support the NT market. | |
| It was reported that IBM will be releasing servers was well as suites designed to work
with Windows NT. One of the PC Models will be the 170 Server as well as their
powerful AS/400e mini-computer system with an optional 200MHz integrated PC server that
runs Windows NT software applications. IBM accomplishes this by running NT on a
coprocessor board along side of the OS/400 operating system. "This new strategy will be targeted at medium and small businesses because there's a real market there for NT," Sullivan was quoted as saying. According to Sullivan, "NT is going to be a very successful OS. It already is. We've talked to our larger corporate customers, and they either use NT or plan to implement it, so we have to support NT to compete." |
IBM is continuing a new strategy to break out
of their former anti-Microsoft stance.
