Here's what they are saying
AMD is providing hardware-assisted virtualization support in their new AMD Opteron processors. Our enterprise-class virtualization and virtual infrastructure management software are designed to take full advantage of these new processor capabilities and provide users with outstanding performance and reliability with less overhead.
- -Alex Vasilevsky, founder and chief technical officer at Virtual Iron
The Next-Generation AMD Opteron processor offers hardware support for virtualization that is ideally suited to the Xen™ hypervisor. Users of Xen and XenEnterprise will now be able to leverage AMD Virtualization for ‘near bare metal’ support of Windows and other operating systems, giving customers a compelling, affordable choice for their virtualized infrastructure. Hardware virtualization is key to the broad adoption of virtualization, and obsoletes the CPU emulation used by first generation virtual infrastructure software.
- -Simon Crosby, chief technology officer, XenSource
By adopting the latest Dual-Core AMD Opteron™ processors, Armari Ltd. customers should be able to gain significant increases in application performance without increasing the power budget they originally allocated for the equivalent number of single-core AMD Opteron processors. We are particularly excited by this AMD achievement, as a large percentage of our customers run high performance computing (HPC) applications. A single HPC cluster can contain hundreds of processors running at a continuous load over three years or more. When we factor in the total running costs and proven reliability of the AMD Opteron processor, the latest Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors Model 280 deliver not only excellent price-to-performance but also outstanding performance-per-watt, so the savings for our customers will be very significant, especially in the HPC space.
- -Dan Goldsmith, Technical Director, Armari Ltd.
Loaded with next-generation components such as the latest Dual-Core AMD Opteron™ processors, Alienware's MJ-12 7550a workstation continues to provide an avenue for creative professionals to thrive. The Dual-Core AMD Opteron processor Model 280 delivers the highest performance yet for the growing number of MJ-12 7550a users.
- -Nestor Villalobos, Worldwide Product Manager for Workstations and Servers, Alienware
Our award-winning MTower™ 2P64, using the new Dual-Core AMD Opteron™ processor Model 880, will now be capable of an unprecedented 8-way/16-core with PCIe and SLI™ capability to 128GB of ECC RAM. With the new Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors with Direct Connect Architecture, AMD has raised the x86 multiprocessor dual-core performance to unprecedented heights, at still a very affordable cost.
- -Sam Corralz, VP of Engineering, @Xi Computer Corp.
