The group estimated around 100 engineers will be needed to work on technology for Itanium - the 64-bit server chip designed to compete against Unix/RISC servers from Sun Microsystems. HP primarily markets servers based on its PA-RISC chips, but the...
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...
While HP plans to phase out its own PA-RISC processor line two generations from now, the company's two main rivals - IBM and Sun Microsystems - have their own high-end processor lines and therefore have been insulated against the problems Itanium...
It edged ahead of the 658,000 score posted two weeks ago by Hewlett-Packard's Superdome running Microsoft's Windows Server 2003 operating system. IBM's winning system cost $7.6m (£4.72m), compared with $6.4m (£3.97m) for the HP Superdome running...
HP has already said it will come out with a version of its Superdome server, originally equipped with HP's PA-RISC chip, which is capable of holding 64, and later 128, Intel Itanium 2 chips. Hewlett-Packard has launched a new version of its...
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...
