Unisys unveils ES7000/one servers  

NEW DELHI: Unisys
Corporation has unveiled the ES7000/one enterprise server based on Montecito
platform, which provides support for the new Dual-Core Intel Itanium 2 processor
9000 series.



Unisys intends to make ES7000/one servers available in late August. Entry-level
configurations of new Itanium 2 models of the ES7000/one are priced from $
45,000.



The Unisys ES7000/one is the first server to permit configuration of a single
platform for both Intel Itanium 2 and Intel Xeon processors, enabling customers
to standardize and to consolidate management and maintenance requirements while
reducing their cost of ownership. It provides an enterprise computing
environment, based on open standards, which is optimal for running Windows and
Linux applications.



The ES7000/one server powered by the new Dual-Core Intel Itanium 2 processors
has demonstrated the highest performance of any 16-processor and the lowest
price/performance of any non-clustered server in the 3000 GB TPC-H benchmark,
widely recognized as a standard measure of system performance for decision
support and business intelligence in commercial enterprise computing.



Colin Lacey, vice president and general manager, Enterprise Server Group,
Unisys, said, "By taking advantage of the
ES7000/one's superior efficiency, Unisys can give customers scaleable servers
that help optimize IT asset utilization and significantly reduce ownership costs
in a real-time infrastructure that dynamically allocates resources to meet
rapidly evolving business challenges."



Kirk Skaugen, vice president, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel, said, "Combining
the power of the Dual-Core Intel Itanium 2 platform with Unisys expertise in
mission-critical enterprise computing, the new ES7000/one provides an attractive
alternative to proprietary Unix and RISC systems, as well as an excellent engine
for high-performance transaction applications and sophisticated business
intelligence deployments."
