Fujitsu continues to improve its’ Itanium product range

Fujitsu on Thursday introduced a line of high-performance servers powered by Intel (NSDQ: INTC)’s latest Itanium dual-core processor.
The Primequest 520A, 540A, and 580A servers are available with up to eight, 16, and 32 9100 series processors, respectively. The product line is expected to ship in May.

The servers are available with either open source Linux or Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)’s Windows Server. The systems are built for running databases, enterprise resource planning applications, and scientific computing.

The new products are updates of the midrange Primequest 520 model and the high-end 540 and 580 models. The three systems were introduced in July 2006.

Very cool, the more cross platform solutions we have for the end user, the more choice we have in terms of the processor and platform combinations which has to be a good thing for competition in the market and for the end user in finding the solution for them. That Fujitsu have updated their Itanium servers is very cool, I wonder if there will be a Fujitsu Itanium blade version as well some time soon?
