July 9, 2002 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Web server technology developer Zeus Technology Ltd. (Zeus.com) announced, in conjunction with HP (HP.com), on Monday that that it has released a 64-bit optimized version of its flagship Zeus Web Server, optimized for Intel?s new Itanium 2 architecture and the HP-UK 11i and Linux operating systems.
The new server, says Zeus, is designed for deployment on HP?s new rx2600 and rx5670 servers. The companies have worked together during the development of the Itanium 2 project to ensure that the software performs on both HP-UX and Linux.
The new Itanium 2 HP servers, says Zeus, set a high benchmark for processing e-commerce Web site transactions. And the combination of Zeus with HP-UX and Itanium 2 delivered more than 750 SSL operations per second, according to the company.
Zeus says it shares a close working relationship with HP, with the manufacturer reselling Zeus? Web serving and traffic management products. Zeus Web Server is also recommended by HP for SSL-enhanced e-commerce sites and high-traffic critical installations.
"HP has been a long-standing partner of Zeus, and we are delighted to be continuing our close sales and development relationship through the Itanium 2," says John Paterson, CEO of Zeus Technology Ltd.
