HP announces broad portfolio of Itanium-based systemsPalo Alto 30 May 2001 Hewlett-Packard Company (HP), co-developer of the Intel Itanium Instruction Set Architecture, announced a broad portfolio of Itanium Processor Family (IPF)-based systems. HP's first Itanium-based systems include the HP Workstation i2000 with up to 2 processors, the HP Server rx4610 with up to 4 processors and the HP Server rx9610 with up to 16 processors.
HP offers customers the freedom to choose their operating system by supporting
HP-UX, Microsoft Windows and Linux.
HP-UX is currently the only 64-bit UNIX system that provides compatibility of
customers' binary software applications as they transition from Reduced
Instruction Set Computing (RISC) to the Itanium architecture. HP-UX is
optimized for the Itanium architecture to provide the performance, scalability
and reliability customers have come to expect from the HP-UX operating
environment well into the future. HP also currently has the only RISC-based
hardware that is upgradeable to IPF without recompiling applications or
software.
