Solbourne Computer (original) (raw)
Solbourne Computer war ein Hersteller von Unix-basierten Servern und Workstations sowie Systemsoftware in Longmont (Colorado), USA. Der Fokus lag auf SPARC/SunOS-binärkompatiblen Systemen, da dies das breite Software-Angebot für die damals führende RISC-Plattform erschloss. Solbourne war das erste Unternehmen, das von Sun Microsystems eine Lizenz für die SPARC-Architektur erwarb. Solbournes Produkte waren keine einfachen Nachbauten eines Industriestandards, sondern boten höheres Leistungspotenzial durch symmetrisches Multiprocessing zu einer Zeit, als diese Technologie von Sun Microsystems noch nicht verfügbar war. Zu Beginn der Neunziger Jahre wurde Solbourne ein ähnliches Potenzial im Unix-Markt zugetraut, wie es Compaq auf dem Markt der IBM-kompatiblen Personal Computer gelang.

(de) Solbourne Computer Inc. was originally a vendor of computer systems based in Longmont, Colorado, United States, at first 52% owned by Matsushita. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the company produced a range of computer workstations and servers based on the SPARC microprocessor architecture, largely compatible with Sun Microsystems' Sun-4 systems. Some of these are notable for supporting symmetric multiprocessing some time before Sun themselves produced multiprocessor systems. Even when Sun produced multiprocessor systems, SunOS uses an asymmetric multiprocessing model rather than OS/MP's symmetric multiprocessing model; Sun would not adopt symmetric multiprocessing until the release of Solaris 2.0 in 1992. Due to the cost of engineering and producing new systems to compete with Sun's increasingly competitive hardware offerings and the loss of symmetric multiprocessing as a distinguishing feature, in 1994, Solbourne left the computer hardware business, with Grumman Systems Support Corporation taking over support for Solbourne customers until 2000. In 1994, Walt Pounds assumed the role of CEO of Solbourne, and the Solbourne headquarters were moved to Boulder, Colorado. From that point until July 2008, Solbourne focused on providing consulting services and solutions based on Oracle Applications and associated technologies. Solbourne established a strong reputation in the Oracle E-Business Suite community, and has become a dominant provider of consulting services to state and local Oracle E-Business Suite customers. On July 11, 2008, Solbourne closed a transaction to sell substantially all of the company assets to Deloitte Consulting. The Solbourne management team and more than 100 professionals joined Deloitte's Enterprise Applications, Technology Integration and Human Capital service areas. (en) |
