PSI Competes With IBM Mainframes and Microsoft is All-In
By John | November 28, 2007
PSI (Platform Solutions Inc.)Â has partnered with HP and NEC to craft Itanium-based high-end servers that - through some software magic - can run IBM’s mainframe operating system and mainframe software.PSI this week revealed Microsoft as a new investor participating in its fresh $37m Series C funding round. Redmond joins companies such as Intel, Goldman Sachs and InterWest Partners that also back PSI’s odd mainframe play. Along with the funding, Microsoft has signed a joint sales agreement with PSI that will see both companies hawk Windows Server 2008 on PSI’s machines.
