SoftLayer Brings More Power to Customers with Dual Core Processor Technology.DALLAS -- Today SoftLayer Technologies announced the deployment of dual core processor See dual core. technology from Intel and AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. . "The technology curve is shifting once again and SoftLayer is positioned to be the dual core specialist with the latest servers including Pentium D One of Intel's first dual-core 64-bit Pentium CPUs. Introduced in 2005 along with the Pentium Processor Extreme Edition 840, they both share the Intel 64 64-bit technology, but the Pentium D does not include Hyper-Threading. , Opteron, and Xeon," said Steven Canale, Vice President of Sales. Unlike the virtual core technology of the last generation, dual core chips have two physical cores on the same chip. Dual core processor technology delivers more speed and more power than their previous counterparts while allowing businesses to reduce application costs based upon physical 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. count. "As technology requirements increase and multi-threaded applications shift to mainstream, the newer dual core technologies are packing a powerful punch for the price," said Mr. Canale. "With so many new features available including; 32-/64-bit computing ability, DDRII Ram, SATA II See SATA. hard drives, and onboard IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) A protocol for monitoring server hardware for temperature, voltage, chassis intrusion, etc. Introduced in 1998 by Intel, HP, NEC and Dell, IPMI defines a standard set of messages for the characteristics of hardware 2.0 capability for advanced monitoring and management, our customers are excited to make the shift to the dual core servers." In addition to new hardware, SoftLayer also deploys enterprise class 64-bit operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. and applications from Microsoft and Red Hat. According to Mr. Canale, the newer 64-bit operating systems are up to 20% faster running on the same hardware while retaining all 32-bit compatibility. "Couple these significant changes with the SoftLayer network-within-the-network approach and customers have access to a rock solid outsourced infrastructure." All SoftLayer server packages include rackspace, public and private networks, tier-one bandwidth, server grade hardware, enterprise software, industry leading security, and complete control through proprietary management systems. Packages start at $159 for dual core single processor servers and scale to $449 for dual core dual processor servers. Additionally, all customers receive custom bandwidth graphing capabilities including monitoring alerts.
