NEW SUN 22 MIP SERVER BENEFITS FROM
OMNI 300 INTRODUCTION
December 6, 1989 -- Mountain View, California -- According to OMNI
Solutions President, Ron Cornell (former Sun executive in charge of
server products), the introduction of the SPARCserver 490 by Sun
Microsystems will be greatly enhanced by the recently announced OMNI
Solutions product. The OMNI 300 RISC Server (TM) is a Sun server
enhancement product announced on December 6, 1989, at the Sun User
Group Show in Anaheim, California.
The OMNI 300 is designed to extend the performance of any Sun server
product. Thus explains Cornell, "When Sun announces a CPU speed
increase from 16 MIPs to 22 MIPs, it means our products will further
increase that performance proportionally. Sun continues to develop
excellent hardware and we provide the software that increases
performance many times over that provided by the new hardware alone.
We continue to find our plans in step and entirely compatible with
Sun."
The Sun announcement indicates Sun's continued development of
hardware-based technology to solve the performance needs of its server
customers. The OMNI 300 RISC Server is primarily a software-based
solution for enhancing that performance. It is totally complementary
with Sun's products and workgroup networking strategies.
OMNI Solutions, Inc., was founded in September 1988 by Dr. Cornell and
key technical managers in server and communications development and
marketing. OMNI Solutions designs, manufactures and markets high
performance workstation networking products based on an open systems
design strategy. The OMNI 300 RISC Server is the first in a family of
server enhancement and server system products available in 1990.
