Brian Lee, HP Product Manager Worldwide Server Marketing, Business Critical Servers, said that the Itanium 2 dual-core Montecito processors will be used across the entire HP Integrity portfolio from entry class up to the high-end Superdome systems. "This will double the core count on all servers which means we're seeing up to 2X performance increase on these systems, which in turn gives a lot more performance for the price. You'll get essentially the same price for increased performance." said Mr Lee. according to Peter Hall, Vice President of Business Critical Servers HP Asia Pacific, the major competition for the Integrity line will come from IBM rather than Sun. "The Sparc processors would like to be up this end of the market," Mr Hall said. "However, it's more a case of the Integrity Server with Itanium up against something like the Power. These are the two players in the market that matter today." The Integrity servers will be compatible with Unix, Linux and Microsoft Windows and optimized for vitual server operations, according to Hall. Prices for the Integrity range start at US$4,884 for the four-core (two dual-core processors) rx2620 system up to over US$200,000 for the 128-core Superdome.{moscomment} |
