Complementing its NT strategy for low end and mainframe migration, Siemens Nixdorf Informationssysteme AG has just had the European launch of Primergy, a line of Intel Corp Pentium and Pentium Pro servers, to support both mainframe-to-Unix migration and upgrading from personal computers. Primergy 100 is the entry- level line, with a uniprocessor Pentium. Primergy 300 has dual processor option, Primergy 500 will be available with up to four Pentium Pro processors and the Primergy 700 combines the above with 19 racking. Primergy 150 with 75MHz Pentium is available now at from #2,500 and 100MHz 350 from #3,330. There are no prices yet for the 500 and 700, which ship at the end of the month. Pentium Pro versions are due April. A SNI spokesperson told Computergram the date for the US launch has not yet been decided.
