Hewlett-Packard on Thursday signaled its commitment to the Intel processor architecture and carrier-grade Linux for telecommunications infrastructure, announcing it will introduce a blade server based on those specifications as part of a new hardware, software and services strategy.

A modular, standardized network equipment specification being pushed by Intel as a time-saver and cost-cutter for vendors of carrier gear made a splash at last week's Supercomm trade show in Chicago.

Corporate and carrier networks are likely to be transformed by a new generation of processors built using a 90-nanometer manufacturing process, the smallest and fastest yet, Intel said Monday.

Officials for Unisys Corp. on Tuesday fired a shot across the bow of the Unix community with its announcement that Microsoft Corp. is aggressively developing Windows solutions for the Unisys ES-7000 server with the intent to push the Unix operating platform out of the data center.

Both Intel Corp. and IBM Corp. announced new microprocessor technologies on Monday, with IBM promising faster microprocessors soon and Intel stating that chips will keep getting faster and cheaper in the future.
