The power of Linux applications built on the Intel® Itanium® architecture

Overview The Linux operating system is rapidly growing as a popular choice to support an ever expanding range of enterprise applications. As demands in enterprise computing continue, many applications will outgrow the 32-bit platform. The 64-bit Intel® Itanium® architecture provides a natural growth path to a higher level of computing power for a host of compute-intensive and mission-critical enterprise applications.

This white paper examines how Itanium-based Linux platforms offer organizations an exciting opportunity to accelerate compute-intensive processes and perform more complex problem solving or analysis with fewer computing resources and at an excellent price/performance ratio.
