FYI -- I'm ignoring the marketspeak, but does anybody have more info on CMP (pointers, etc..) -----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<----- UNISYS BEEFS UP WINDOWS NT SERVER LINE Unisys is preparing to release its Windows NT server computer, which the company had delayed due to concerns of consumer distraction over Y2K issues. The server was due for release at the end of 1998, but it was intentionally delayed to ensure that it would not be overlooked among Y2K preparations. The servers, which will be introduced at the end of October or early November, feature cellular microprocessing, or CMP, architecture that allows up to 32 processors to be used simultaneously in a single server. This is eight times as many processors as most top-end Intel servers can handle, making the Unisys product an attractive offering for companies that require powerful performance. CMP also allows a single server to run multiple operating systems, such as Windows NT and Linux, at once. Analysts have noted that this feature will make CMP an efficient and economical alternative for many companies.
