Unisys

BLUE BELL, Pa., April 21, 2009 – Building on a strong foundation of expertise and best practices in virtualization, Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced enhancements to its line of enterprise servers along with a framework designed to help clients select the virtualization architecture appropriate for their enterprises and reduce the costs of implementing and managing a virtualized environment.

Unisys is making the new VMware vSphere™ 4 – the latest version of the widely used VMware virtualization software, also announced today – available across the entire line of Unisys Enterprise Servers. These Unisys servers range from the rack/tower-based ES3000 servers to the ES5000 blade servers to the large-scale ES7000 series. Also today, Unisys is launching new models of the ES3000 and ES5000 families that use the new dual-core and quad-core Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series.

 Powered by VMware vSphere 4 software and Intel Xeon 5500 series processors, the new Unisys ES3000 and ES5000 server solutions – combined with Unisys advisory and implementation services – allow clients to improve their total cost of ownership (TCO) with a choice of scale-out and scale-up virtualization approaches. Unisys virtualization solutions can help clients benefit from a reduction from 5:1 to 3:1 in the TCO ratio between scale-out and scale-up virtualization using Unisys 

Great news that Unisys will support the exciting new platform announced by VMware, and that they have released new models of their servers with the Intel Xeon 5500 series processor. Anything we can do to aid the scale up and out of the virtual platform has to be a good thing for the end user community. I’m off to check it out.
