Technology Visionary and Industry Icon Scott McNealy to Serve as Advisor to Hardcore Computer Executives

Hardcore Computer, Inc. announced today that Scott McNealy, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, is serving as an advisor to the company's executives. Hardcore Computer designs, manufactures, and markets top-tier, high-performance computer systems using their patented liquid submersion cooling research to remove heat, the main barrier of electronics performance. Utilizing its Total Liquid Submersion research, Hardcore Computer provides innovative, power efficient, high performance Liquid Blade™ servers, professional workstations and desktop computers, setting a new standard for computing performance, reliability and quality.

Early advocate of the networked environment

An early advocate of the networked environment and an outspoken Silicon Valley maverick, McNealy challenged the computer industry dominance of the time and championed a network-based computer system based on Sun's Java software, a universal programming language. Sun Microsystems was built around the Stanford University Network Unix processor, and was part of a large wave of interdependent Silicon Valley startup companies. Unlike most of his peers, McNealy came from a business background, having gone to Stanford's Graduate School of Business for his MBA afterwards receiving a Bachelor's degree in economics from Harvard.

"Our industry has experienced the network becoming the computer. However we are transitioning to Cloud in a Container - closet, basement, or trailer," said Scott McNealy. "Hardcore Computer and their Liquid Blade do this by simplifying the 'data center.'"

"To boot to bringing his depth and breadth of research experience to the table, Scott McNealy is renowned for being intense, disciplined, driven and focused," said Hardcore Computer chief executive officer Al Berning. "We have much to benefit from Scott's strategic counsel on the direction of our company and products. We are very fortunate to have Scott available as an advisor."
