Unisys Adopts Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 7100 Series as Key Engine for Next-Generation Server Architecture.BLUE BELL, Pa. -- Unisys Virtualization An umbrella term for enhancing a computer's ability to do work. Following are the ways virtualization is used. Hardware Virtualization Partitioning the computer's memory into separate and isolated "virtual machines" simulates multiple machines within one physical computer. Software to Help Optimize Price/Performance of New Intel Platform in Advanced Generations of Enterprise Servers Unisys Corporation (company) Unisys Corporation - The company formed in 1984-5 when Burroughs Corporation merged with Sperry Corporation. This was when the phrase "dinosaurs mating" was coined. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange : UIS (graphics, programming) UIS - A VMS graphics programming interface package for VAXstations. ) today announced its commitment to the new Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 7100 Series - codenamed "Tulsa" - as a key step in development of its recently unveiled next-generation server architecture. Unisys was among the first system providers to announce support for the new Dual-Core Intel Xeon platform. The new Dual-Core Xeon processors provide virtualization capabilities that Unisys plans to extend with hypervisor software it is developing for the next-generation architecture to optimize application performance, resource utilization and power consumption. Virtualization enables applications using different operating environments In computing, an operating environment is the environment in which users run programs, whether in a command line interface, such as in MS-DOS or the Unix shell, or in a graphical user interface, such as in the Macintosh operating system. to run simultaneously in a single partitioned processor space on a computer system. The operating environments can share application workloads dynamically, optimizing resource usage and increasing operational efficiency. Intended as a common platform for all Unisys enterprise servers, including the ES7000 and ClearPath families, Unisys next-generation server architecture will be the first in the market capable of running Microsoft Windows See Windows. (operating system) Microsoft Windows - Microsoft's proprietary window system and user interface software released in 1985 to run on top of MS-DOS. Widely criticised for being too slow (hence "Windoze", "Microsloth Windows") on the machines available then. , Linux and Unisys OS 2200 and MCP (1) See Microsoft certification. (2) (MultiChip Package) A chip package that contains two or more chips. It is essentially a multichip module (MCM) that uses a laminated, printed-circuit-board-like substrate (MCM-L) rather than ceramic (MCM-C). simultaneously while sharing application workloads in a virtualized environment. Unisys also plans to begin delivering models of the current ES7000/one server line incorporating the Dual-Core Intel Xeon platform in the fourth quarter of 2006. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Intel, the Dual-Core Intel Xeon 7100 Processor can boost transaction performance up to 70 percent and double the Java server performance of the previous generation of technology. Commenting on the value of those enhancements, Colin Lacey, vice president and general manager, Enterprise Server Group, Unisys, said, "Unisys customers increasingly seek to deploy real-time infrastructure to meet dynamic transaction requirements and modernize their application environments to accommodate both legacy and open source applications. By enhancing the performance advances in the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processors with Unisys expertise in virtualization and system management, Unisys can help customers meet those objectives and benefit from quantum advances in server scalability and price/performance." "Unisys has optimized the performance and scalability of Intel platforms for enterprise computing Refers to information technology in the larger company. See enterprise data and enterprise networking. , delivering new levels of business value to their customers," said Kirk Skaugen, vice president, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel. "Unisys is building on the advanced functionality of the Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor 7100 Series in the data center, while optimizing customers' cost of IT ownership." Unisys Real-Time Infrastructure and Services Intensify Value of Intel Xeon Platform The Unisys enterprise servers in which the Dual-Core Intel Xeon 7100 Series platform will be integrated are designed for deployment in a real-time infrastructure which is driven by the customer's business policies and which directly and dynamically enables strategic business processes. This helps customers realize key benefits of secure business operations Business operations are those activities involved in the running of a business for the purpose of producing value for the stakeholders. Compare business processes. The outcome of business operations is the harvesting of value from assets - breakthrough performance in customer service, greater agility in IT management with minimized risk and higher availability, improved operational efficiency and enhanced cost control.
