IBM has shattered Intel`s scalability barriers by delivering a 64-way NUMA-Q 2000 server to market. Powered by 700MHz Pentium III Xeon chips, the machine is built on IBM`s E410 quad building blocks.
The new machine has "shattered the industry`s foremost data warehousing performance benchmark, doubling the result of HP`s top-of-the-line V-series server at nearly half the cost," according to Dave Brooke, PSG marketing manager at IBM South Africa.
IBM has also introduced the Netfinity 3500 M20 at the lower end of its Intel servers. The 3500 M20 is a two-way SMP server supporting Pentium III 800MHz processors and up to 2GB of memory priced for small to medium businesses.
"IBM is enabling customers to build intelligent infrastructures on their own terms with Unix, Linux or Windows 2000 application environments," says Brooke. "Our NUMACenter framework allows customers to manage IBM`s entire line of Intel-based servers with upward integration into higher level management infrastructures."
