ProServer 2264 Delivers High
Performance Enterprise Computing
Promicro, a leading provider of high performance computing solutions,
announced that the ProServer 2264 is now available with new server technology
from Intel Corporation. Based on the Intel Server Platform SR870BH2 and new
Intel Itanium 2 processors announced earlier today, the ProServer 2264 is a
high performance, high-density server solution for business and scientific
applications. The ProServer 2264 offers enterprise-level reliability and
flexibility, and reduces operating costs by consolidating data resources into
a more manageable IT environment.
"Promicro's new ProServer based on the Intel Server Platform SR870BH2 and
new
Itanium 2 processor offer leading performance and prices for a broad range of
enterprise applications," said Phil Brace, director of marketing, Intel
Enterprise Platforms and Services Division. "The ProServer 2264 is a great
addition to the wide range of powerful hardware solutions based on Intel
server products."
The ProServer 2264 is based on the Intel Itanium 2 processor, making it
significantly more cost-effective than proprietary RISC offerings. The Itanium
2 processor offers up to a 30-50% performance increase over its predecessor.
The processor's Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) architecture
and 6MB of level 3 cache also contribute to leading enterprise performance.
The ProServer 2264 offers support for IA-32 applications and is ideal for high
availability server deployments.
"Promicro's history of expertise with Intel processor and platforms-based
servers, combined with our thorough customization of solutions for each
customer's unique requirements, have resulted in contracts with leading
businesses, government and academic institutions," said Jeff Haynes,
president, Promicro Systems. "The ProServer 2264 is a highly competitive
offering that is optimized for the most demanding applications."
