supercomputing and the art of the sales pitch: Supercomputers are wonderful things. Meaningful research gets done and geeks everywhere can drool over the specs like car buffs fawning over a vintage Corvette. But there's also a subtle sales pitch, which explains why most large tech vendors play like IBM and HP play in the high-performance computing space. ...; Tags: Supercomputer, Sun Microsystems Inc., Supercomputing, Sales Strategy, Sales, Larry Dignan; Blog posts 2008-03-03
