Introduction
When reading about virtualization, it's
often easy to get lost in the masses of possible meanings given to the word by various
sources. At AnandTech IT, we've been trying to cut a clear path, attempting to provide
our readers with a complete overview of what each technology entails so they are
always able to make the right choices for the right situations. Previous articles

Introduction
Accounting for up to 56%
of market share in the US and 40% worldwide, the quad-socket market is
the last stronghold of AMD. It is a small stronghold, as for every 4S
server, there about 17 dual-socket and four single-socket servers sold. However,
since each 4S server contains four CPUs, the 4S server market accounts for about
10% of the server CPUs sold. More importantly, the ma... |

"I have no idea; it is an industry
standard server after all." That is what we heard from two PR
people, each representing a different large server manufacturer at CeBIT, when
we asked them to elaborate on the differences between their servers and the
competition. There is no better way to get sales people annoyed than asking
them to differentiate their x86 servers on technical merits. A very... |

Introduction
First dual-core in 2005,
then quad-core in 2007: the multi-core snowball is rolling. The desktop market is
still trying to find out how to wield all this power; meanwhile, the server market
is eagerly awaiting the octal-cores in 2009. The difference is that the server market
has a real killer application, hungry for all that CPU power: virtualization.
While a lot has
been writt... |

The flood of pictures last week should
have given a good picture of what CeBIT is all about, so we'll keep this intro
short. In this article, we'll look at a few of the servers that we saw on CeBIT.
Almost all our attention goes to the so-called "Tier-2 vendors", as
the Tier-1 vendors were mostly focused on the local market and less interested
in the international press.
The theme of this ye... |

When we're not up to our ears in lab
research, we - the European branch of AnandTech - like to increase our
knowledge of subjects in some classier ways. For example, by traveling down to
Cannes to cover VMware's first VMworld conference in Europe, taking place in
the palais des festivals, especially known for its annual hosting of the film
festival. The conference hosted over 4500 visitors an... |

Introduction
In preparation
for this article, we set out to find a simple definition of application virtualization.
All we wanted was a simple and concise introductory sentence to give our readers
a good idea of what application virtualization is all about, independent of the
meanings given by the existing software vendors that tout the advantages of
application virtualization.

Since the arrival of AnandTech's very own Google Mini, Google has issued several updates to this little blue box. We're
taking a look at Google's present-day Mini to provide up-to-date insights on
this search solution for small-to-medium-sized businesses. The Mini product
line currently sports four different licenses, ranging from $1,995 for the
ability to search through 50,000 d... |

Introduction
The new Xeon 45nm (or Xeon 54xx series) arrived in the
lab weeks ago, so a server CPU benchmark update is overdue. However, there is
another reason we decided to write this article. When AMD launched their newest
quad-core chips, we could only give you a preview of its performance - not a
full review. We did not fully understand many of the performance aspects of the
new AMD arc... |

Introduction
For years, centralized storage meant complex Fiber Channel Storage Area Networks (FC SAN) which were very expensive. Large enterprises were prepared to pay big premiums for such centralized storage networks, as storing valuable data scattered over hundreds of servers would cost them a lot more. The risk of losing data was higher, and decentralized storage resulted in a lot more wor... |

The clock has "ticked" and Intel has released a refresh to the quad-core Xeon line-up, code-named Harpertown. AMD has also finally released their quad-core Opteron, code-named Barcelona. Intel is on what they like to call a tick-tock release cycle of processors. Every "tick" is a refresh of the current architecture, and a "tock" represents a new architecture. AMD doesn't seem to be on any pattern ... |

A couple months ago, we took a look at the low voltage (LV) server CPU market. At the time, we focused on four-way solutions using two dual-core processors, since those represent the largest slice of the server pie. Our conclusion was that while the power savings brought about by using low voltage CPUs were real, processor choice was only one part of the equation. AMD came out ahead overall in per... |

Introduction
There is something very intriguing about the server market. To understand it, you must take a look at the latest Gartner numbers and know a bit of background about Supermicro. Supermicro is the odd man out. Browsing through the website, you find very few trendy buzzwords; just the good old-fashioned "cutting edge technology" and "reliability". What happened to "SOA", "IT governance... |

Introduction
The age of multi-core is upon us, and the game of who has the highest clock speed has turned into who has the most cores (at least for now). Intel released Clovertown in Q4 of 2006, a bit ahead of its originally scheduled 2007 launch date. Obviously, the reason for the early launch was at least partially to ensure they were the first to market with quad core, ahead of rival AMD.
