I don't know about now, but SGI used to have a lot
of Govt contracts
and a lot of oil companies as customers. HP buying that also means
they now have the ears of those customers when their solutions are old
and they need to migrate to new equipment.
I predict a lot of late model Irix equipment coming into the used
market place.
Maybe, maybe not. For some of those apps I don't see HPE's product offerings
being much, if any, better than what's currently on the market. If these
IRIX-hanger-oners didn't see anything compelling to make them junk their
current hardware investment before, I doubt HPESGIWTFOMGBBQWTF will make them
change their mind.
