Barry, Intel investors, Penn National Insurance planning to run Windows 2000 on 32 way Pentium III Xeon 550 MHz processors. Tom Miele, director of infrastructure at Penn National Insurance, said his company has decided to run Windows 2000 on 32-way ES7000s to replace more than 60 smaller servers from a variety of other vendors. "We're trying to get down to a few, more hefty servers," Miele said. "One of the things we can do with Windows 2000 once we get it on a 32-way system is to start doing partitioning and dynamically allocate resources." Unisys entry-level ES7000 servers come with eight Intel Pentium III Xeon 550-MHz processors, and are capable of expansion to 32 processors and 64 GB of memory, with a starting price of $99,127. The 32-way high-end version is priced at $631,721. It has four partitions of eight processors each. I don't know if the 32 way uses clusters, or if Unisys has a more tightly coupled scheme.
