(SGI) servers, the companies announced today.
SGI is hoping that a high-profile partnership with established database-maker Oracle may give a boost to its lagging server sales. Under the new alliance, SGI will sell and support Oracle's information management software with its Origin 200 server.
At the time it introduced the Origin 200 in early 1997, SGI said it wanted to expand into the commercial marketplace. The company is now effecting that strategy through a partnership with Oracle, said Dataquest server analyst Jerry Sheridan.
