Bull Announces NovaScale Business Partners Program.BILLERICA, Mass. -- New Channel Program to provide partners in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. with access to Bull's Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 servers and support programs Bull today announced the NovaScale Business Partners Program, which provides Systems Integrators, ISVs and VARs with access to the Bull NovaScale(R) family of Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 servers, which are designed for intensive computing requirements. The new program also includes an extensive support offering to assist in the marketing, sales and support of these advanced servers. The Bull NovaScale(R) family consists of a series of open, mainframe-class servers for business and scientific applications. From blade servers A server architecture that houses multiple server modules ("blades") in a single chassis. It is widely used in datacenters to save space and improve system management. Either self-standing or rack mounted, the chassis provides the power supply, and each blade has its own CPU, memory and to large SMP (Symmetric MultiProcessing) A multiprocessing architecture in which multiple CPUs, residing in one cabinet, share the same memory. SMP systems provide scalability. As business increases, additional CPUs can be added to absorb the increased transaction volume. (Symmetric Multi-Processing) servers, the NovaScale(R) family is based on the Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processor technology, which provides users with unprecedented price/performance ratios In economics and engineering, the price/performance ratio refers to a product's ability to deliver performance, of any sort, for its price. For instance, if you have a whole day to travel 100 km, spending $50 to do the journey in two hours is a better price/performance ratio than , scalability, reliability, and investment protection.

NovaScale- The Power of Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 Bull's NovaScale servers are designed to meet the most demanding business-critical and scientific computing requirements. According to the IDC Report entitled, Bull Fills Out NovaScale Line, "Bull's NovaScale servers are mainframe-class systems based on a modular architecture and using standard building blocks. IDC believes that there are a number of features of Bull's NovaScale line, which differentiate them from competitive products...including scalability, cost, reliability, and manageability." The outstanding price/performance of the NovaScale line is achieved thanks to the low-cost of ownership of using standard technologies combined with the breakthrough performance and scalability afforded through the use of Intel 64-bit technologies. Bull's NovaScale servers have already been installed at a number of prestigious International HPC (Handheld PC) A palmtop computer that weighs less than one pound and runs specialized versions of popular applications. Microsoft coined the term for its Windows CE operating system, which is an abbreviated version of Windows.
