G'day
I know the Bledisloe's on tomorrow, but is it Intel or IBM?
Take care and regards :)
IBM buys Texas Memory Systems, pushes into solid-state storage | ZDNetIBM said it will acquire Texas Memory Systems, a privately held company that focuses on high-performance flash storage.
Texas Memory Systems (TMS) offers Flash based rack systems and interconnect cards. In some respects, TMS is in the same ballpark as Fusion-io and similar companies.
IBM's motives are relatively obvious. The company plans to push more solid state storage into data centers. TMS provides the technology and IBM has the sales channel.
why does the thread title says Intel, where the news says IBM?
Interesting as IBM usually develops, and has developed, a lot of technology in-house. I've worked with IBM equipment for many years (before I retired) both hardware side and operations. Including 360/370/3031 mainframes, PS/2 PC's, 3270 terminals and IBM's "Token Ring" LAN technology.
Is it normal for IBM to buy and use other companies technology? I always though they were more in house with technology and components.
Offtopic, but at first, I thought it would mean IBM buys Texas Motor Speedway
