HP decides to use Ubuntu on ProLiant server products

HP's server products have long supported Linux while HP is starting to use Linux on its desktop computers. Their server products currently employ a large number of Linux systems, including Rhel (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), Novell's SLEs (SUSE Linux Enterprise server), Oracle Enterprise Linux and http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/33836.html ">debian. Now, HP decides to use Ubuntu on their ProLiant server products.

HP will formally collaborate with Ubuntu Linux business sponsor canonical and HP will provide complete Ubuntu hardware certification on its own ProLiant server product line. The product line consists of blades, racks, and stand-alone servers, with AMD Opteron and Intel Xeon processors. This hardware proof means that HP will use Ubuntu as a supported operating system that will work together to improve Ubuntu's performance on the appropriate server.

Microsoft to include Ubuntu in Windows rivals list

The most interesting thing about Microsoft's annual form filed paper to the SEC is the part of Microsoft's competitors in every field, although most of the results are expected, but the document has important implications as well. It means that Microsoft believes these companies have grown to the point where they need attention.

In the filed file submitted last week, Microsoft added canonical to the customer department (the main developer of Windows), and canonical was the most important supporter of Ubuntu Linux, but it was also noted that Red Hat was included. The Red Hat was just listed as a competitor in Microsoft's corporate and Server & Tools division.

Microsoft's browser market rivals have added Google, Apple and opera, and last year's file included Mozilla as a competitor.

Microsoft wrote in the paper: "The customer market faces serious challenges, and rivals such as Apple, canonical and red Hat are constantly developing various commercial software products including UNIX variants ... Linux operating systems have gained a lot of recognition, especially in emerging markets, where OEMs are constantly trying to reduce costs under competitive pressures, new Low-cost PCs are being promoted, and partners like HP are actively working on the optional Linux operating system. "

"Windows operating systems also face competition from multiple platforms, and new devices have also reduced consumer demand for traditional PCs," he said. Software companies such as Apple, Google, Mozilla and Opera continue to challenge IE Web browsers, where mobile devices have seen a strong growth in global users and usage compared to PCs, and OEMs are also working to make Google mobile OS Android is better compatible with small PCs and netbooks.
