Egenera Announces Two-Way Processing Blade Based On Intel EM64T

Egenera Inc has expanded its line of Egenera Processing Blade configurations with its highest-performance two-way offering to date. Available immediately, this Processing Blade incorporates the Intel Xeon processor, Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T).

Specifically, the new blade contains two 3.60 GHz Intel EM64T processors with an 800 MHz front-side bus, and supports 8GB of DDR2 memory. DDR2, the next-generation evolution of DDR memory technology, features faster speeds, higher data bandwidths, lower power consumption and enhanced thermal performance.

"Our customers typically run mission-critical and compute-intensive applications on the BladeFrame system. We select high-performing Intel server processors in order to meet these requirements and to offer a broad line of Processing Blade options for the enterprise," said Susan Davis, vice president of product marketing and management at Egenera. "With its 64-bit memory addressability, EM64T technology also enables the large memory configurations needed for database applications running on the Egenera platform."
