SGI申請破產!!

又掛了一家知名公司，真是十年河東十年河西啊，對照SUN執行長黯然下台，在數位時代公司的崛起與衰敗竟是如此之快速啊，看他樓起，又看他樓塌，任何公司都必須引以為戒啊，別被數位洪流浪頭席捲時，還以為自己還乘著浪，卻不知下一秒就可能趴在沙灘上了。

Silicon Graphics, the incredible shrinking workstation maker, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, according to news wires.

In court papers filed today, SGI said it had been "challenged by delays in introducing new technology, a focus on more specialised markets and more intense competition from larger rivals", Reuters reports.

Chapter 11 is intended to give companies breathing space by keeping creditors at bay while they restructure. But SGI's historic business - supplying expensive workstations to movie production houses (latterly based on Intel's Itanic chip) - is under extreme pressure. The graphics may be great, but then so are Nvidia and ATI these days; and AMD and Intel server farms running Linux are so much cheape

再見了，SGI，許多後製作與3D繪圖公司會懷念你的，畢竟還是有一堆公司裡面正跑著你們公司的機器。
