Unisys Expands Wintel Mainframe Line
ENT News | at | by Mike
In the wake of Intel's launch of its second-generation 64-bit processors, Unisys this week unveiled its plans for its next generation of Wintel mainframes. Unisys is packaging a new line of its big boxes to make it attractive in more cost-conscious markets. The new servers will roll out over the next few months. Right around the Windows 2000 launch, Unisys began shipping its 32-processor ES7000 servers, which remain the largest servers on the market running Intel processors. The ES7000 was closely associated with Windows 2000 Datacenter Server. The 32-processor support built into Datacenter was engineered expressly to accommodate the Unisys servers.
