AMD:
dimostrazione live della migrazione tra tre
generazioni di processori AMD Opteron
AMD rende
disponibili i primi video e le immagini
della dimostrazione live su piattaforma
VMware ESX 3.5, delle ultime 3 generazioni
di processori AMD, tra cui il processore AMD
Opteron a sei core, nome in codice “Instanbul”.
La migrazione live di macchine virtuali sui
server garantisce una maggiore flessibilità
nella gestione dei moderni data center.
Inoltre, AMD continua la collaborazione con
Microsoft che rilascia oggi la versione beta
di Windows Service 2008 R2 Hyper-V e
aggiunge supporto alla tecnologia AMD-V con
Rapid Virtualization Indexing. I nuovi
Quad-Core a 45nm offrono elevate prestazioni
e scalabilità sia per Windows Server 2008
Hyper-V e Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008.
SUNNYVALE, Calif.
— March 24, 2009 – Continuing its momentum
and leadership in virtualization technology,
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NYSE: AMD)
today released the first video and images
demonstrating live migration across three
generations of AMD processors on VMware ESX
3.5, including the Six-Core AMD Opteron™
processor code-named “Istanbul.” Live
Migration of virtual machines across
physical servers is key to providing
superior flexibility for managing today’s
data centers. Additionally, AMD is
highlighting its continued, cooperative
development efforts with Microsoft as
evidenced in Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V™,
which is available today as a beta and adds
support for AMD-V™ technology with Rapid
Virtualization Indexing. The new 45nm
Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor provides
scalable performance for both Windows Server
2008 Hyper-V and Microsoft Hyper-V Server
2008 and has received support from all four
global OEMs.
“The AMD ecosystem of hardware and software
partners like Microsoft, Sun and VMware
illustrates a strong confidence in the
advanced virtualization capabilities AMD-V
offers,” said Margaret Lewis, director,
Commercial Solutions, AMD. “Enabled in part
by RVI, Live Migration across our 65-nm and
45-nm Quad-Core and upcoming Six-Core AMD
Opteron processors provides further evidence
of the flexibility of AMD-V technology for
data center customers upgrading their
systems.”
Last week Sun Microsystems posted a new 8P,
32-core world-record result on the VMmark
benchmark, measuring the performance and
scalability of applications running in
virtualized environments based on VMware
products. This top VMmark score was achieved
on a Sun Fire™ X4600 M2 server powered by
Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors. More
information on leading VMmark scores for 2P,
4P and 8P AMD Opteron processor-based
systems can be found at http://links.amd.com/a3zb.
