Xandros Ramps Up Performance with Release of 64-bit Xandros Server
Xandros Server Delivers Power Computing to SMBs with Support for Intel®
EM64T and AMD64® Processors
NEW YORK, NY - Xandros, the leading provider of easy-to-use Linux
alternatives to Windows desktop and server products, today announced that
the Xandros Server now supports high-performance computing utilizing 64-bit
processors from Intel and AMD. Support for Intel® EM64T and AMD64®
processors will be provided to Xandros customers at no additional charge.
"The Xandros 64-bit server provides businesses with extensive room for
growth by supporting powerful database systems and the option of more
simultaneous users on each server. SMBs and enterprises can now enjoy
high-performance computing in an easy to manage package at an affordable
price," said Andreas Typaldos, Xandros CEO. "We want to offer SMBs the same
choices as big enterprises. For our customers, upgrading from 32 bit to 64
bit does not mean they have to switch to another type of server
solution. They now have the option of upgrading with Xandros at no
additional cost."
Xandros Server is the first Linux server to provide a powerful platform for
enterprise administrators and SMBs that have little or no Linux
experience. Built on top of Debian Linux, it provides a Managed Community
architechure with workflow automation that takes the guesswork and
complexity out of server configuration tasks. Xandros Server presents a
simplified, centralized approach to remotely administering users and
services through the all-graphical Xandros Management Console (xMC). It is
compatible with any existing Windows domain and networking infrastructure,
offering a plug-and-play replacement to costly Windows servers.
"With 64-bit CPUs becoming ubiquitous on virtually all server platforms, we
feel it is extremely important that our SMB customers enjoy the 64-bit CPU
benefits out of the box without paying anything extra. The 64-bit and
32-bit versions of Xandros Server are completely interoperable and can
co-exist in the same Managed Community," said Ming Poon, Xandros VP of
Product Development. "We went through extensive interoperability testing to
make sure that the 64-bit version of xMC can be used to manage the 32-bit
Xandros Server and vice versa, to offer complete care-free administration,
regardless of the administrator's workstation CPU."
