Microsoft Launches Windows MultiPoint Server 2010

Microsoft has come up with another solution as their latest server operating system, This can simply be called a unique solution for price cutting as in todays world technology and its usage has become unaffordable to many. Essentially, Windows Multipoint server is designed to enable multiple students to use the same machine, while each one operates a different desktop.

“We heard clearly from our customers in education that to help fulfill the amazing promise of technology in the classroom, they needed access to affordable computing that was easy to manage and use,” noted Anthony Salcito, vice president of Worldwide Education at Microsoft. “That’s why we developed Windows MultiPoint Server — a solution that meets these needs and delivers an up-to-date, trusted Windows experience.”

Shared resource computing can multiply the number of student workstations available to schools, delivering more value while staying within the same budget,” revealed Bill Rust, research director at Gartner Inc. “Teachers can better align computing resources with instructional strategies while deploying fewer fully configured computers and reducing workstation support liabilities.”

According to Microsoft, Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 is available worldwide to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) starting today, Febraury 24th. The Redmond company announced that the product was planned for roll-out to Microsoft academic volume licensing customers come March 1. Microsoft is collaborating with a range of OEMs to deliver Windows MultiPoint Server 2010 solutions globally, including HP, DisplayLink, NComputing, ThinGlobal, Tritton Technologies and Wyse Technology.

AMD to Ship 12-core, without cutting down feature set

AMD is coming up with its new core design, that will include 8-core and 12-core . This range will be called as “Magny-Cours” server processor design. As posted on the Company blog , the chips are already shipping to customers. The reports come out and clear that there will be no cut-down in the feature set,Its been said that AMD is focusing to the next-generation processor design, so as to keep up with the pace of its rivals.

Scaling back the features for marketing purposes is really not a very appetizing prospect for us. We believe that you should have the full set of features, no matter where you buy in the stack. You won’t see us scale back the memory speeds. You won’t see us scale back the I/O speeds. You won’t see us pull features. That is not our way to bring products to market,” John Fruehe, the director of product marketing for server/workstation products at AMD, said.

On the other hand, INTEL is dedicated cutting down features from its less priced desktop or server CPU’s in order to make them seem good in market. On the contrary AMD, intends to keep the same feature set so as to provide a better functioning desktop or server CPU and hence a more comfortable and satisfied customer.

“When you look at our existing AMD Opteron processors as well as our upcoming new products (Magny-Cours), you see two big themes: we don’t compromise on features and we are going to deliver the feature customers care most about: value. As you look at our products, you’ll see that as you move down the stack, from those fastest processors that everyone lusts after (but few buy) down to the value-priced processors, you’ll see the same set of features. You won’t see AMD artificially limiting the capabilities or punishing a focus on low power,” Mr. John Fruehe noted.

XbitLabs reports that, according to unofficial sources, the AMD Opteron 6000 series of processors will be made up of three CPUs with clock speeds of 1.90GHz, 2.10GHz and 2.20GHz. The company also aims to release three standard-voltage 8-core chips at 2.0GHz, 2.30GHz ans 2.40GHz, along with two high-efficiency 8-core processors with clocks of 1.80GHz and 2.0GHz. Furthermore, AMD also intends to launch a highly efficient (HE) AMD Opteron 6000 12-core chip at 1.70GHz, as well as a special edition (SE) 12-core AMD Opteron 6000 at 2.30GHz. Maximum stability for these 12-core chips will be enabled by reduced frequencies for the L3 cache memory and integrated memory controllers, compared to 6-core and quad-core chips
