NEC: O3
From Devwiki
NEC is the world's second largest manufacturer of semiconductors, with plants spread around the world. The "O3" project was our first direct project with NEC. However, NEC was the largest reseller of Sun SPARC workstations in Japan, so Objectivity/DB was known to them via the Sun marketing channel. The sale was made by Mitsui and support is done by OGIS.
