Pogo Linux Announces Support for New Intel Dual Core Platform; Intel Dual Core Technology Will Integrate Easily with Customers' Compute-Intensive Linux Environments.BOSTON -- Pogo Linux, a premier Linux server vendor, today announced support for Intel's next generation platform that will support true dual core processing. Forthcoming Pogo Linux server solutions are designed to help Linux users take advantage of the Intel platform's new capabilities and reduced power consumption to boost compute-intensive application function and lower total cost of ownership. Pogo Linux systems featuring the next-generation dual-core CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. architecture will take advantage of many design improvements. The dual independent front side bus design will boost data communication, while I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output acceleration technology will further enhance system performance. For advanced memory function, systems will include cutting-edge use of fully buffered dual in-line memory modules (DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) A printed circuit board that holds memory chips and plugs into a DIMM socket on the motherboard. See memory module. DIMM - Dual In-Line Memory Module ). "This new Intel platform supporting dual core promises huge advances in performance and cost-effectiveness, and we've specifically designed our solutions to harness those gains in a powerful, reliable system for our customers' diverse Linux environments," said Jared Giles, Director of Product Development for Pogo Linux. "Customers who look to Pogo Linux for superior support and expertise can expect that we'll help them quickly optimize new Intel technology to supercharge su·per·charge tr.v. su·per·charged, su·per·charg·ing, su·per·charg·es 1. To increase the power of (an engine, for example), as by fitting with a supercharger. 2. their computing and make the most of their IT budget." In addition to cost-savings afforded by the new Intel platform's lower power requirements, the Pogo Linux solutions will feature virtualization technology See VT. See also virtualization. that will help customers make the most of systems without the capital and maintenance costs of additional hardware - to further reduce total cost of ownership. Availability Available in Q2, Pogo Linux solutions featuring the new dual core design will be compatible with various versions of Linux, including Red Hat Enterprise, CentOS (Community ENTerprise OS) A Linux distribution that is built from the same open source modules in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which is a commercial product. Since Linux is open source, the OS can be copied and distributed without infringing on any distributor's rights , and Fedora A free distribution of the Linux kernel from Red Hat along with a variety of open source utilities. Technical support is not provided for any of the Fedora distribution, only for Red Hat's full fee-based subscription of Linux. Core. About Pogo Linux Inc.
