Amdahl Delivers Leading-Capacity Millennium CMOS Systems in Volume Shipments.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 6, 2000 Amdahl Corp.: -- Marketplace demand for Millennium accelerates. -- Amdahl underscores its System/390 strategy with follow-on CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. generations. Amdahl Corporation (company) Amdahl Corporation - A US computer manufacturer. Amdahl is a major supplier of large mainframes, UNIX and Open Systems software and servers, data storage subsystems, data communications products, applications development software, and a variety of educational and today announced volume shipment of its System/390-compatible Millennium(TM) 2000 Series CMOS servers. The 2000C systems, delivered during an early ship program, have been running production workloads worldwide. These systems have demonstrated superior reliability and consistently met performance expectations. Demand for the 2000 Series has generated a significant order pipeline leading into next quarter. The Millennium 2000 Series provides the industry's highest CMOS capacity in the System/390 marketplace. Later in the year, Amdahl expects to boost performance by approximately 20 percent to help customers deal with the rapidly expanding online activity prompted by the growth of the Internet Internet Publicly accessible computer network connecting many smaller networks from around the world. It grew out of a U.S. Defense Department program called ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), established in 1969 with connections between computers at the . Amdahl's leading System/390-compatible processor offerings leverage the company's expertise by providing the best business platforms, services, and software and the most innovative choices for customers. As the company has stated in earlier announcements, Amdahl will continue to make available new System/390-compatible processors every year that supply increasing performance and capacity using the latest CMOS technology. To meet the needs of customers' heterogeneous environments Using hardware and system software from different vendors. Organizations often use computers, operating systems and databases from a variety of vendors. Contrast with homogeneous environment. , Amdahl will continue to deliver UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). and IA server platforms. "We understand the importance of the System/390 platform to our customers' business and view our participation in this market as a key element of our customer-oriented strategy," said David B. Wright, Amdahl CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "Amdahl and Fujitsu are committed to providing System/390-compatible processors to meet customer demand now and in the future. In addition, Fujitsu, Amdahl, and other Fujitsu Group Companies serve an even wider market by sharing the same Fujitsu-developed CMOS technology for their respective large computer systems." "Customers win by having a strong System/390 alternative to IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) . Fujitsu is proud to deliver the CMOS technology that provides true competitive benefits to System/390 customers," said Takesi Maruyama, senior executive vice president of Fujitsu Limited. "The Fujitsu/Amdahl partnership will continue to supply CMOS-based System/390-compatible servers to meet the growing marketplace demand."
