Noteworth: On Friday, Caldera posted an early version of its OpenLinux product designed for the Itanium chip, the first member of a 64-bit chip family from Intel designed to compete with Sun Microsystems' UltraSparc, Hewlett-Packard's PA-RISC, SGI's MIPS, IBM's Power, and Compaq Computer's Alpha. Intel is heavily backing Linux to become one of three mainstream operating systems for the delayed chip. Under the new schedule, only a test batch of computers running on Itanium chips will come out this year. Systems for commercial consumption will arrive in the first half of 2001. dailynews.yahoo.com The ES7000 is designed around the intel chip. Itanium will be supported. See artical: 32 CPU's Scalability and high performance are critical enterprise attributes, and our ES7000 servers meet this challenge, supporting up to 32 Intel® processors. Processors are installed using hot-swappable sub-pods, each containing four processors. The system can function under a single operating system or can be partitioned to run multiple instances of various operating systems. Upgrading to more powerful processors is also a simple process. These upgrades are achieved by removing an existing sub-pod and replacing it with a new sub-pod containing more powerful processors. The ES7000 supports today's Intel® IA32 (32 bit) Pentium III Xeon technology and is designed to support IA64 (64 bit) processor technology when it becomes available. This ensures that increased processor performance will be there when it's needed. unisys.com ES7000: 1) Lower cost 2) More scalability 3) Supports multiple platforms Any comments from techys welcome.
