CELESTICA INTRODUCES ITANIUM 2-BASED WORKSTATIONS.Celestica Inc. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange , TSX TSX Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE before April, 2002) TSX Transfer from Stack Pointer to Index TSX True Space Extension : CLS (Common Language Specification) The structure and syntax of .NET and CLI programming languages. See .NET. ), a provider of electronics manufacturing services Electronic manufacturing services (EMS) is term used for companies that design, test, manufacture, distribute and provide return/repair services for electronic component and assemblies for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). (EMS), has introduced an Intel Itanium 2 processor-based workstation reference design. Based on Intel's processor, the reference design provides high performance, cost efficiencies and a roadmap for growth to the workstation market. This design will enable OEMs and system builders to offer their technical computing customers a strong performance and scaleable workstation that meets the needs of graphics rich, complex computing environments. "We are delighted to be working with Intel to bring these innovative products to market," said Dan Shea Dan Shea (born December 23, 1954 in Ontario) is a Canadian actor who is best known for his recurring role as Sgt. Siler on Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. He is also the stunt coordinator and Richard Dean Anderson's stunt double on the same series. , senior vice president and group general manager, Celestica. "With a heritage in engineering and technology leadership, Celestica has been a supplier of electronics manufacturing services to workstation and server markets for many years. We have expanded our capability to provide 64-bit solutions to meet our customers' specific product needs." Celestica will be offering two products. The single processor product is an entry level solution that will feature either the upcoming Itanium 2 processor 6M (codenamed Madison) or the upcoming Low Voltage Low voltage is an electrical engineering term that broadly identifies safety considerations of an electricity supply system based on the voltage used. While different definitions exist for the exact voltage range covered by "low voltage", the most commonly used ones include "mains Intel Itanium 2 processor (codenamed Deerfield), five PCI slots, four hard drive bays, 8GB memory capability and AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) A high-speed 32-bit port from Intel for attaching a display adapter to a PC. It provides a direct connection between the card and memory, and only one AGP slot is on the motherboard. 4X graphics. The dual processor product is focused on the performance workstation user and will feature either two Intel Itanium 2 processors 6M or two Low Voltage Intel Itanium 2 processors, four PCI slots, four hard drive bays, 16GB memory capability and AGP 8X graphics. The Itanium processor family is designed to address the needs of high-performance servers and workstations, and is supported by a broad ecosystem of hardware and software vendors worldwide. "The Itanium processor family is designed to provide higher performance at a lower cost and with greater choice than proprietary RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. offerings," said Mike Fister, senior vice president and general manager, Intel Enterprise Platforms Group. "The Itanium 2-based workstation reference design from Celestica achieves these goals and will enable broader adoption of Itanium 2-based workstations by providing hardware and software vendors with a high-performance, cost-effective solution." These products are offered broadly to the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and market, with a single-processor Itanium 2-based workstation available in the Fall 2003 and the dual - processor Itanium 2-based workstation available in the Spring of 2004. To ensure evolving OEM needs are met, Celestica will provide roadmap refreshes as technology advances. About Celestica Celestica is a provider of electronics manufacturing services (EMS).
