Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Hewlett-Packard has unveiled its new range of Integrity high-end business critical servers, which the company claims will give users double the bang for their bucks because the move to Intel dual-core processors.
The new Integrity range, used in enterprise applications such as
accounting and supply chain management, will be armed with Intel's new
Itanium 2 range of processors.
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.
