现在,IBM、惠普以及戴尔都在提供新的多路服务器以降低企业数据中心中的服务器数量,这能够帮助企业节省IT开销,使IT基础架构变得更加容易管理,还能提高运营效率。IBM在这场争夺中似乎赢得了第一个回合——它不仅是首个供应基于Xeon处理器的8路服务器的供应商,并且也是首个供应基于Xeon处理器的16路服务器的供应商。诚然,eServer x440服务器的扩展性很强,性能表现也不错,但它并不便宜。IBM eServer x系列服务器的主管人员Jay Bretzmann说,:“配置1.6GHz Xeon处理器的16路eServer x440起价为81332美元。在你决定购买这个产品之前,你得先掂量掂量你的钱袋——不过,我认为,这是值得的。”
IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and Dell are now offering new multiplex servers to reduce the number of servers in an enterprise data center, which can help businesses save on IT overhead, make their IT infrastructure more manageable, and increase operational efficiencies. IBM seems to have won the first round in this battle - not only the first vendor to supply an Xeon processor-based 8-way server, but also the first supplier to supply a 16-processor Xeon-based server. True, the eServer x440 server is very scalable and performance is good, but it is not cheap. Jay Bretzmann, manager of the IBM eServer xSeries server, said: “The 16-way eServer x440 with a 1.6GHz Xeon processor starts at $ 81,332 and you have to weigh your pocket money before deciding to buy it - I think it’s worth it. ”
