Intel Sells Off Communications Server Business

Posted on: Tuesday, 7 October 2008, 07:30 CDT

Kontron, a Germany-based manufacturer of miniature computers, has agreed to acquire Intel's communications rackmount server business for an undisclosed sum.

The communication servers from Intel will be integrated into Kontron's family of communications platforms and industrial rackmount servers. Kontron expects 2009 revenue from this business unit to be more that $40m.

The companies will work together in the transition period to ensure a continuous supply of products and support and services to Intel customers.

Doug Davis, vice president of the digital enterprise group and general manager of the embedded and communications group at Intel, said: "Intel is pleased to reach this agreement with Kontron, an Intel Embedded Communications Alliance Premier member and one of the world's leading embedded computer companies. We will work closely with them to transition support for customers of these products."

The deal is expected to close early this month.
