Here's what they are saying
System level benefits such as enhanced power efficiency, advanced virtualization technology, and future core upgradeability are driving strong demand for Supermicro A+ Servers optimized for Next-Generation AMD Opteron™ processors. Another significant benefit is the new interface for DDR2 memory. Compared with DDR1, DDR2 memory consumes less power, has better market availability, and offers scalability for the high performance requirements of Supermicro server and workstation platforms.
- -Alex Hsu, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer, Supermicro Computer, Inc
AMD Opteron™ processor-based servers have proven to be an outstanding platform for our customers deploying Virtuozzo for Linux and Virtuozzo for Windows. Due to Virtuozzo’s unique architecture, all AMD advances are immediately supported. The benefits provided by Next-Generation AMD Opteron processors, including the ability for our customers to scale servers across a single architecture, will enable greater opportunities for server consolidation, business continuity, reducing management complexity, and helping to address the important issues of data center efficiency.
- -Serguei Beloussov, CEO, SWsoft
Through the use of Next-Generation AMD Opteron™ processors, TYAN’s upcoming Transport server system and Thunder/Tiger/Tomcat platform products will deliver numerous features such as incredible power cost-savings efficiency, dual-core power, AMD Virtualization™ technology and quad-core upgradeability. All of these leveraged capabilities will equate to direct benefits for our server and workstation customers, who can experience further performance gains and significant cost overhead reduction, as well as outstanding efficiency in their applications.
- -Danny Hsu, Vice-President, Sales and Marketing, TYAN Computer
Our product development goals are essentially aligned with those of AMD in regard to reducing total cost of ownership, improving power efficiency and continuing thermal leadership. Next-Generation AMD Opteron™ processors are designed to accomplish these goals and to allow seamless dual-core to quad-core upgrades in the same thermal infrastructure without compromising memory RAS and helping reduce platform costs through DDR2 DIMM memory technology.
- -David Wright, CEO, Verari Systems
AMD is providing hardware-assisted virtualization support in the Next-Generation AMD Opteron™ processor. Our enterprise-class virtualization and virtual infrastructure management software are designed to take full advantage of these new processor capabilities and to provide users with outstanding performance and reliability with less overhead.
- -Alex Vasilevsky, Founder and Chief Technical Officer, 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 can now be able to leverage AMD Virtualization™ technology 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
ZT’s support of Next-Generation AMD Opteron™ processors enables us to leverage proven technologies with efficient dual-core capabilities, low-power/high-bandwidth DDR2, and advanced leadership in x86 virtualization. Our customers will appreciate the improved business functionality and the ability to reduce total cost of ownership through the ease of upgrades from dual-core to quad-core in the same thermal infrastructure.
- -Bob Anderson, Vice President of Business Development and Strategy, ZT Group International Inc
We are excited about the improved server scalability and performance benefits that the Next-Generation AMD Opteron processor will bring to our customers. The 64-bit version of Presentation Server takes user density to new heights - up to three times as many users per server. The 64-bit AMD Opteron processor enables IT to expand their Presentation Server deployment to more business applications and additional user groups at a much lower cost. The new platform will enhance end-user experience and further enable customers to take full advantage of the cost benefits offered by Citrix Presentation Server.
- -Scott Herren, group vice president and general manager, for Citrix
At Red Hat, we recognize the value of 64-bit-enabled applications in IT, and have worked closely with AMD to develop and enable an innovative, high-performing hardware and software platform. This platform’s success is evidenced by the growing number of software vendors moving their development environment to Red Hat Enterprise Linux supporting AMD64 technology across several industries, including financial services, telecommunications, healthcare and government. We look forward to continuing our work with AMD, enabling software development that is optimized with integrated virtualization from the operating system to the chipset and hardware.
- -Brian Stevens, chief technology officer at Red Hat
With Solaris 10 we provide mainframe class features such as Predictive Self Healing and advanced virtualization capabilities such as Solaris Containers for a wide array of AMD Opteron processor-based systems from popular vendors. Our partnership with AMD will simplify the development and delivery of new virtualization technologies and our Solaris Compatibility Guarantee ensures that customers deploying systems based on the Next-Generation AMD Opteron processor have a seamless upgrade path to the latest technology for their datacenter.
