Another Enterprise Software package Ported to ITanium !! biz.yahoo.com Monday July 30, 9:06 am Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: Geodesic Systems, Inc. Geodesic Announces Intel(R) Itanium(TM) Platform Support Geodesic Products Help Ensure Peak Performance and Reliability For Applications Running on Intel's New 64-Bit Architecture CHICAGO, July 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Geodesic Systems, a leading provider of high-availability software that improves business-critical application performance and reliability, today announced the initial release of its Geodesic products to support the Intel® Itanium(TM) Processor Family. The first Geodesic solution commercially available for this platform is the Geodesic REMIDI(TM) deployment product operating on Linux. Targeted at the most demanding enterprise and high-performance computing applications, the Itanium processor is the first in a family of 64-bit products from Intel. Itanium processors address the growing needs for data communications, storage, analysis and security while providing performance, scalability and reliability advantages at significantly lower costs than proprietary offerings. ``The Itanium processor was designed to meet customers needs for high availability, performance and cost competitiveness,'' said Raghu Murthi, director of enterprise platform marketing at Intel. ``Geodesic's server application infrastructure solutions complement the Itanium processor with the ability to help applications maintain peak performance and reliability while scaling to meet user demands.'' Without requiring any changes to a program's source code, Geodesic automatically finds and fixes destructive software errors that are the leading cause of application failure. Geodesic also improves application performance, allowing systems to scale to meet high demand enterprise requirements. Amazon.com , Cognos, Macromedia and Novell are just a few of the companies already using Geodesic solutions to help ensure peak availability of their business-critical applications. ``Geodesic provides a patented suite of service level management solutions for server applications deployed on the Itanium platform,'' said Michael Spertus, chief technology officer of Geodesic Systems. ``Companies using the Itanium architecture to build and deploy the most demanding enterprise and high-performance computing applications can use the Geodesic solutions to optimize their investment in these applications.'' The Geodesic REMIDI product provides near linear scalability of memory- intensive applications on Symmetric Multi-Processing (SMP) systems. Using a multi-heap allocator, the product automatically parallelizes memory management for multi-threaded applications and increases cache-hit rates by reducing false sharing. Geodesic REMIDI also improves reliability by automatically diagnosing and resolving memory leaks, premature and multiple frees, and memory overwrites. Geodesic Systems' Great Circle® is an advanced testing and diagnostic tool that complements Geodesic REMIDI and allows software engineers to identify and resolve performance and reliability problems in C and C++ application software. Great Circle provides an intuitive and flexible Web browser-based user interface that supports remote monitoring and diagnosis of distributed applications enabling software engineers to validate application performance in real-world environments. In addition to the current availability of Linux 2.4 kernel support for Itanium-based systems, Geodesic will release versions of its products to support Windows for Itanium-based systems and IBM AIX5L for Itanium-based systems later this year. About Geodesic Geodesic Systems, Inc., headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, offers application infrastructure solutions that automatically improve the performance and reliability of business-critical systems. Many Fortune 1000 companies and government agencies rely on Geodesic REMIDI and Great Circle® to help keep their business-critical systems running.
