Eight Unisys ES7000 Servers consolidate workload of 150 servers at Netherlands' Bank LabouchereBlue Bell 18 January 2001 Bank Labouchere has ordered six additional ES7000s to run Alex, its popular e-brokerage web site, Unisys said today. Two ES7000s were ordered by Bank Labouchere earlier in 2000.
The Unisys ES7000 servers will provide the Dutch investment
banking firm with the very large transaction capacity, uninterrupted
system availability and high-end security essential to high-volume,
round-the-clock Web-based securities trading.
The servers' large input-output resources, critical to supporting
large volumes of simultaneous user transactions, will play a key role
in enabling the bank to expand availability of Alex to international
customers.
Sales of servers based on the Unisys Cellular MultiProcessing
(CMP) architecture passed the 250-unit milestone in December 2000,
just three months after Microsoft unveiled the operating system needed
to exploit the full enterprise capabilities of the server technology.
