Now, this isn’t 100%, but I’ve heard from a reliable source that Rackable has beaten out Cray, HP, and Cisco to acquire SGI. The price isn’t known, but rumors have it that Rackable was willing to pay up to $50Million for it, which is still a paltry sum.
Either way, official word should be out Tomorrow or Friday.
Update: InsideHPC is reporting the same.
It’s trustworthy:
U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved Rackable Systems’ purchase of SGI for $42.5 million.
