NEC最近发布了它的第一个采用333-MHzPentium Ⅱ处理器的个人用工作站系列产品,这表明尽管姗姗来迟,但NEC总算进入了NT工作站市场。从HP和Compaq等公司推出自己的Intel-Windows NT结构工作站算起,NEC进入该PC领域的时间滞后了一年半。从那时以来,NT工作站已经成为这一计算领域的中流砥柱。虽然Unix系统的销售量目前仍然超过NT工作站,但绝大多数研究报告表明,NT工作站销量的增长率比其它机型要快得多,而且它正在侵入对技术要求最高的汁算市场。 NEC公司计算机系统部产品经理David Sorenson指出:“我们发现NT工作站是一个真正按等比级数增长的市场。随着大量Unix应用软件被移植到NT环境,我们觉得现在投身这一市场正是机会。” NEC的第一个工作站产品被称作PowerMate Professional 9000,它的销售对象主要瞄准图形专家。计算机辅助设计和媒体创作是该公司看好的另两个目标市场。售价从2400美元到6000美元的这批新机器比竞争对手的产品略微便宜一些。分析家们认为,NEC的举动是扩充该公司产品系列的必要举措。Dataquest工作站分析家Dan Dolan说:“最糟糕的事情莫过于向你的
NEC recently unveiled its first line of personal workstations using the 333-MHz Pentium II processor, indicating that NEC has finally entered the NT workstation market despite its lateness. Starting with its own Intel-Windows NT fabric workstations from companies such as HP and Compaq, NEC lagged behind the PC for a year and a half. Since then, NT workstations have become the mainstay of this computing space. While Unix systems still sell more than NT workstations, the vast majority of research reports show that NT workstations have seen their sales growth much faster than the other models and that they are invading the most technologically demanding juicing market. David Sorenson, Product Manager, Computer Systems Division, NEC Corp., states: “We found that NT Workstation is a truly sequential market, and as a large number of Unix applications are ported to the NT environment, we feel it is a good time to get involved in this market . ”NEC’s first workstation product, called the PowerMate Professional 9000, is targeted primarily at graphics professionals. Computer-aided design and media creation are the other two targeted markets the company is bullish on. The new machines, priced from $ 2,400 to $ 6,000, are slightly cheaper than their competitors. Analysts believe that NEC’s move is a necessary step to expand the company’s product line. Dataquest workstation analyst Dan Dolan said: "The worst thing is to you
