Fujitsu And Intel To develop Grid
Enterprise Servers
Fujitsu Ltd has partnered with Intel Corp to jointly develop
mission-critical
enterprise servers.
These Fujitsu systems will utilize Intel processors and run Linux and
Windows
operating systems.
They are designed to complement Fujitsu's Unix-and mainframe-based
mission-critical grid enterprise platform offerings. Fujitsu plans to make
Intel Xeon
processor DP and MP systems available by end of 2004, followed by large
systems based on future versions of the Intel Itanium processor family by the
end of 2005.
These systems will scale up to 128 processor-capable mainframe-class
systems.
To support the collaborative effort, Fujitsu has created a new Linux
systems
organizational structure under its Enterprise Systems Group.
This organization will comprise more than 300 engineers and capitalize on
Fujitsu's mission-critical systems expertise, including interconnect, grid
clustering, autonomous systems, and grid computing technologies.
