Subject: Re: Sun E10000 Historical Enquiry
From: Jonathan KatzThere was a guy who I used to talk to who was on one
of the
Sun lists and was based in the top-tier hardware development/software
development out of San Diego, and then later he moved east, but I
forgot who that was.
==
I know who it is - we're still in contact once in a while. I plan to
ping him and see if he's interested in participating. I also have
another friend who drove a number of E10Ks for a large company here in
the Twin Cities.

then SGI bought Cray whic sold the "Superserver" part to SUN. SGI put
their money into the Origin2k and didn't see the need/potential in
Starfire which became the E10k
The rest of Cray became "Cray Research" which was sold to Tera Computer
Company which was renamed Cray Inc.
(SGI was later bought by Rackable which was renamed to SGI)
