Sun Microsystems is to launch its first blade servers and Linux machines later this month.
The Linux machine will be Sun's first departure from its current product strategy of supplying machines running its own proprietary flavour of Unix, Solaris.
Sun hopes the move will help it to compete in the lower end of the server market, where generic machines based on Intel processors and Linux are eating into Sun's market share.
The blade server is Sun's first entry into an emerging market space, for easily storable servers designed to be built into large server farms.
The blade server announcement is expected for 12 August. The Linux server, flagged up in February, is due to be unveiled on 13 August, according to CNet.
