The processors in the new servers can be partitioned, or divided, so the hardware is able to run different applications and operating systems and can accommodate other PA-RISC or Itanium chips. The new Unix/RISC servers - 2505, 5405 and 7405 models...
The number of customers served by each switch compounds all of these reliability figures - for 100,000 customers terminated on one switch we have the potential for 100,000 x 5.3 minutes of totalised downtime.
Intel will today release a pair of cheaper Itanium 2 processors optimised for rack-mounted servers and clusters as it attempts to expand the chip family's reach. The Low Voltage Itanium 2, formerly code-named Deerfield, and a scaled-down version of...
HP and Intel argued that Itanium would bring a radical new design to last 20 years - far beyond the RISC (reduced instruction set computing) chips such as IBM's Power and Sun's UltraSparc. Sun is using a three-pronged chip strategy, while HP argues...
Its competitors are at a bit of an ebb because of their transitional issues," Eunice said, referring to Sun's embrace of Fujitsu's high-end Sparc64 processor and HP's switch from its PA-RISC chips to Intel's Itanium.
HP followed suit with its 64-processor Superdome models, which initially used the company's own PA-RISC chips but which now are also available with Intel's Itanium. HP is betting that its servers with Intel's Itanium processors - in particular, the...
