AMD has dramatically revised its road map for server processors, adding a new six-core processor and pushing out the arrival of a next-generation core well into the next decade.
Hardware giant Dell has struck a deal with industrial equipment maker Emerson Network Power to sell advanced cooling systems and services to datacentre owners.
Intel has launched two new quad-core Xeon processors incorporating virtualisation and energy efficient features that promise cuts in power usage.
With Windows Vista, Microsoft had to cut features to try to get the release out the door. With its upcoming server release, though, Microsoft is actually adding a few features.
Advanced Micro Devices is coming out with its own Centrino. The US-based chipmaker is prepping an energy-efficient notebook chip, code-named Griffin, as well as a platform based around Griffin called Puma, (similar to Intel's Centrino) that will likely allow AMD to better compete in the rapidly growing notebook market.
Is it a truck? Is it a giant portable wind tunnel? Well, yes -- but it's also a mobile datacentre with a maximum capacity of 4.1 petabytes of storage, which would easily hold an awful lot of high-res Superman footage.
On the odd occasion where I have seen the results of surveys of knowledge workers where they are asked to rank the barriers to the adoption of knowledge management inside their organisation, one word keeps popping up at the top of the list again and again: culture.
The current buzz around virtualisation may sound familiar to anyone with experience of high-end computing's origins " so what makes today's scenario so different?
Who predicted Linux servers would outnumber Windows servers by 2006? Who said one in five enterprise desktops would be Linux-based by 2008? We look back at the bad (and good) predictions made about Linux over the past decade.
Server virtualisation is a no-brainer -- it's quick to deploy and easy to justify in terms of cost-savings but too many companies are deploying the technology without considering the security implications.
With Microsoft set to officially launch Windows Server 2008 this week, ZDNet.com.au sister site CNET News.com sat down with Bob Muglia, senior vice president of Microsoft's Server and Tools Business to talk about what to expect.
Virtualisation is a method of running multiple independent virtual operating systems on one computer. Here is how to migrate a physical server to a virtual version.
Acer has taken standard Intel OEM components to put together a highly configurable and very scalable 1U server, capable of handling a variety of tasks. It's more than a match for similar products from the big-name vendors.
With computing power to burn, the PowerEdge 1950 is ideal where high performance is required, such as clustering and Web front-end duties. However, the ramped format does make life more difficult when it comes to database hosting and other backend deployments.
This is a good choice for compute-intensive applications, but the System x3455's restricted storage and availability options limit its use when it comes to general hosting duties.
Need a new server but only have AU$2500 to spend? The range of options is surprisingly good as long as you're willing to do without some of the fancy features.
Intel has described two new technologies for its Itanium family and fleshed out its plans for the processor, as the company tries to build momentum for the high-end server chip.
