Industry Expert Blogs

Yes, I have been a little delinquent in writing another blog. The idea for this blog was triggered after participating last month on a panel associated with “Extreme Low Energy Servers” at an Emerging Technology Summit in San Francisco. Included on the panel was Glenn Keels, who works on Project Moonshot at HP and Karl Freund, the VP of Marketing at Calxeda. I started to reflect on the number of times in the past twenty years that the processor technology I represented was going against an incumbent in a specific market segment…And of a number of times the competitor has been x86 technology. Those of you with as much gray hair as me may be able to work out which two companies I was with for those difficult and ultimately unsuccessful campaigns from my LinkedIn profile. Extra points for the names of those products!
