"Today is Sun Day," Intel says

Sun Microsystems and Intel are partnering on a chip usage arrangement, according to Intel's Web site.

Sun will offer a set of Intel-based servers, with plans for single, dual and multi-core enterprise servers, telecommunications servers and workstations supporting Solaris, Windows and Linux. Sun's first Intel Xeon systems will be out in the first half of 2007.

As part of the arrangement, Sun's Solaris OS can be deployed on Xeon-based servers.

Sun previously has used rival, Intel-compatible chips from Advanced Micro Devices as well as its own SPARC chips.

Full story and analysis to come.
