NGIO is also expected to coexist with PCI in the foreseeable future. The NGIO architecture is designed to meet these demands to maintain a balanced and robust system, and the benefit of being supported by the formation of an open industry forum and Intel's goal that contributions to the core specification be available on a mutual royalty free basis. Dell has been part of creating the architecture since the outset, and we look forward to advancing its acceptance as a member of the steering committee and an implementer of the technology. We're excited to be continuing that leadership through the NGIO Industry Forum, and look forward to delivering the products that will make the promise of the architecture real for customers. It's important to us to be able to evolve our offerings in a way that allows them to take full advantage of the benefits of a horizontal, highly competitive computer industry.
NGIO architecture provides that framework.
Sun is excited to work with industry leaders such as Intel to help develop and support the NGIO specification. Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products.
