New virtualisation solutions powered by AMD and Microsoft technologies have been released.
The new deployment model uses AMD Opteron processors with AMD Virtualisation technology together with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V.
Imi Mosaheb, SA country manager for AMD, says the X86 processor implements cost reduction, increased performance and energy efficiency. "Now, through our continued partnership with Mircosoft, AMD is expanding virtualisation's reach and benefits of resource consolidation to companies that might not have taken advantage of virtualisation in the past."
David Smith, CTO for event management software provider, ServiceU Corporation, says: "Through the use of power-efficient AMD processors running Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V, in one data centre alone we doubled the number of operating system installs and processor cores, while cutting power requirements, heat output and space requirements by approximately one third."
According to AMD, the AMD Opteron processors have features such as extended migration and rapid virtualisation indexing technology.
