With the density levels you're starting to get today with blades and servers like the 575, fairly specialised power and cooling is once again coming to the forefront" of data centre operations, Haff said.
Lees spoke at an event in San Francisco to announce Intel's latest high-end Xeon processors, models that incorporate new 64-bit features to easily accommodate more memory and which next year will be replaced by models with dual-processing engines...
Right now, Pixar is planning to purchase systems based on Woodcrest and Cloverton, a quad-core processor scheduled to emerge next year, he said. Intel formally unveiled its Xeon 5100 series processors on Monday, releasing to customers one of its...
AMD this week announced its new "Rev F" line of dual-core Opteron processors, which in 2007 will be supplanted by quad-core models that plug into the same "Socket F". Tulsa chips fit into servers using Intel's "Truland" platform, a server design...
Intel's 'Clovertown' processor, which squeezes two Woodcrest chips into a quad-core package, "made a meaningful contribution to their business in the fourth quarter. Quad core is starting to happen fairly quickly", McCarron said.
Given the increasing use of high density hardware such as multi-core processors and blade servers, excessive power and cooling demands could lead to a rise in server failures, according to Aperture Research Institute (ARI), a division of software...
