Bull Doubles the Performance of Its High-End NovaScale Servers with New Dual-Core Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 Processors.PARIS Paris, in Greek mythology Paris or Alexander, in Greek mythology, son of Priam and Hecuba and brother of Hector. Because it was prophesied that he would cause the destruction of Troy, Paris was abandoned on Mt. -- -- Capitalizing on its experience as the designer and maker of Europe's largest supercomputer supercomputer, a state-of-the-art, extremely powerful computer capable of manipulating massive amounts of data in a relatively short time. Supercomputers are very expensive and are employed for specialized scientific and engineering applications that must handle very , Bull affirms its unique expertise around the new-generation Intel processors -- Bull announces that the Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processor (formerly codenamed Montecito) is now available on its new NovaScale 3005 and NovaScale 5005 series Bull announces that the Dual-Core Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processor (formerly codenamed Montecito) is available on its new NovaScale 3005 and NovaScale 5005 servers for platform shipment beginning in late August. This underlines the ability of the NovaScale server family to host several generations of Intel processors, and so protecting NovaScale customers' initial investments. "Our long-standing relationship provides us with early access to new Intel technologies and enables us to integrate new Intel processors quickly into our server line. We have found the performance and reliability gains of the new Dual-Core Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processor to be outstanding and, combined with Intel(R) Virtualization Technology See VT. See also virtualization. , offer enterprise and 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. See Pocket PC. customers a truly advanced, open and scalable IT infrastructure. That's why Bull customers can already take advantage of powerful Bull NovaScale servers based on Dual-Core Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processors" said Michel Michel named after Gaston Michel, a French surgeon (1875-1937). Michel clip metal skin sutures in various sizes from 8 to 16 mm long. Each clip is a 2 mm wide band of metal with a downturned sharp prong at each end. Lepert, General Manager of Bull Products and Systems activities. Higher levels of performance and density, lower electricity consumption and thermal output Equipped with Dual-Core Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processor 9000 series, the NovaScale 3005 and 5005 series deliver much improved 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 , while the lower electricity consumption and heat output from the new processors offers two and half times better performance per watt watt [for James Watt], abbr. W, unit of power, or work done per unit time, equal to 1 joule per second. It is used as a measure of electrical and mechanical power. compared to previous generation Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processors. Bull, through its long-established and recognized know-how in building enterprise open systems and mainframes, has focused its R&D investments to enable the development of innovative enterprise-class Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processor server families. The resulting technology will contribute to reinforcing Bull's product range, as well as its position as a key Intel Itanium based server supplier. These investments have given Bull a leading edge in the mastering of complex IT infrastructures, which are the cornerstone cornerstone Ceremonial building block, dated or otherwise inscribed, usually placed in an outer wall of a building to commemorate its dedication. Often the stone is hollowed out to contain newspapers, photographs, or other documents reflecting current customs, with a view to of its development strategy. "With the introduction of the dual-core Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processors as part of the Bull NovaScale server line, a new dimension in enterprise IT is born. This provides more flexible, energy-efficient, higher performance and more reliable solutions. This opens up new prospects for implementing large-scale applications and for server consolidation, particularly with Intel Virtualization Technology See VT. ," said Kirk Skaugen, vice president, digital enterprise group, Intel.
