Bull NovaScale Universal servers integrate the new Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 5300 series processors
- Doubled performance per watt compared to the latest generation of Intel® Xeon® dual-core processors
- Lower infrastructure costs
- Servers ideally suited for consolidation
Paris,
December
7, 2006 -
Bull announces the integration of Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® E5310 & E5320 processors, code named "Clovertown" on two-socket NovaScale Universal servers.
"Intel quad-core processors, with their high unit power and energy efficiency have a major impact on both the evolution of IT infrastructures and the implementation of new architectures. Bull's teams will make the most of these improvements in order to build even more efficient infrastructures at a lower cost for the benefit of our customers", declared Pierre Duval, Director of the NovaScale Business Unit of Bull.
Lower infrastructure costs
A doubled performance per watt means more computing power with less servers and thereby lower heat dissipation and power consumption in the Data Center, leading to significant infrastructure cost savings.
Bull NovaScale servers: ideal platforms for virtualisation and consolidation
The embedded virtualisation technology of Intel® Xeon® processors delivers optimized support of virtual machines. With this technology combined with the virtualisation software solutions on NovaScale Universal servers and with NovaScale Master software suite, Bull's new platforms are perfectly adapted to consolidation in the Data Center.
Processor technical specifications
Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors feature clock speeds ranging from 1.60GHz to 2.66 GHz, with a Front Side Bus (FSB) from 1066MHz to 1333MHz and 8 MB cache.
