Intel、Dell及其它数家公司在Comdex Enterprise展览会上展示了一种高端服务器系统,这些公司称该系统与许多尖端Unix系统的功能不相上下。这项展示的另一个目的是为了使业界信服标准PC架构也可运行公司网络。在Comdex Enterprise上,Dell公司向人们展示了16台基于Intel PentiumⅡXeon处理器和Windows NT的服务器在一个扩展的“集群”配置中一同工作的情况。集群是指一种将多台服务器连接起来从而提供更好的数据备份和更高性能的方法,它是在许多大型公司中运行的高端Unix系统的特点之一。目前,使用标准技术的微
Intel, Dell and several other companies showcased a high-end server system at Comdex Enterprise that they described as functionally superior to many cutting-edge Unix systems. Another purpose of this demonstration is to convince the industry that standard PC architectures can run corporate networks as well. At Comdex Enterprise, Dell showed people how 16 servers based on the Intel Pentium II Xeon processor and Windows NT work together in an extended “clustered” configuration. A cluster is a method of connecting multiple servers to provide better data backup and higher performance, which is one of the features of high-end Unix systems that run in many large companies. At present, the use of standard technology micro
