At its Intel Developer Forum next week, the chipmaker will announce it's begun production of "Dempsey," its first major version of the Xeon server chip to employ dual processing cores, people involved with the plan said.
Hewlett-Packard will launch its new high-end Unix server in March, but because Intel delayed its new "Montecito" version of Itanium, the system will initially come with the current "Madison" processor.
Researchers at chip giant Intel are looking to create insect-like exoskeletons that will help make 80-core processors work with today's software and hardware.
Linus Torvalds released a new Linux kernel on Monday that supports features in IBM's Cell processor, includes Oracle software for clustered databases and improves how the open-source operating system runs on multiprocessor systems.
Oracle will expand its support for Hewlett-Packard's Itanium-based Unix servers, bringing a version of its E-Business Suite to market by the end of the year, the software giant said on Thursday.
The average datacentre lasts between 15 and 20 years, so when the current generation of datacentres near the end of their working life, will their replacements be at all familiar?
Multicore processors have been around since 2005, when Intel shipped its first dual-core processor and the advantages of many cores have been widely touted, but a working model for costing software to work with them is still on its way.
In the world of processors, attention seems firmly focused on the fast-paced desktop and mobile markets. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing going on in server-land.
Firewalls have come a long way since we last looked at them in 2005, and have now become full-blown Unified Threat Management devices. We take a look at the top players.
Barry Vandevier of Travelocity talks about his company's efforts to deploy Web 2.0 technologies for the next generation of online travel.
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.
It can handle a wide range of backend business applications, but HP's Proliant ML370 G5 is over-specified for organisations with more modest requirements.
Multi-core processors deliver many benefits, including much-improved performance per watt, over single-core designs. We examine three dual-core servers from the leading vendors to see what this technology can do for your business.
Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the AU$39 upgrade fee.
