We're grateful to Sam Ockman, CEO of Penguin Computing for taking time out of his busy schedule to answer our questions. Mr. Ockman founded Penguin Computing in June 1998. His was the first hardware company to produce systems with only Linux inside. In today's corporate world, most successful companies' actions revolve around their mission statement.
Reliability is a function of many things, including engineering, testing and integration.
It starts with engineering. We combine ours with that of the top-tier companies we choose as partners, such as Red Hat and Oracle. We've pioneered technologies for reliability under Linux. For example, we were one of the first companies to do complex RAID systems. We were also the first to offer hot-swap power supplies across almost all our product line.
