Other possibles include Unisys Corp - although its Unix interests are being sidelined - Siemens Nixdorf Informations Systemes AG, which is seeking a 64-bit technology for use on its Sinix-based Intel servers as well as a technology partner for its Siemens Pyramid Information Systems Incs MIPS RISC-based Reliant Unix; and IBM Corp, which already has commitments to SCOs UnixWare on its PC servers.

While ccNUMA server vendor Sequent Computer Systems Inc has hitched its 64-bit Unix-on-Intel horse to the Digital Equipment Corp wagon there remains a question mark over Data General Corps long-term Unix plans. A ccNUMA-enabled version of UnixWare which Santa Cruz Operation Inc was developing for DG and its prospective AViiON OEMs such as Fujitsu/ICL doesnt appear to be in the picture.
