(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider SoftLayer Technologies (www.softlayer.com) announced on Wednesday that its servers with Intel Xeon E7-4800 processors are now available.
This announcement comes a week after SoftLayer launched its referral partner program.
According to the press release, SoftLayer is the first web host to offer these servers, which promise to increase scalability, memory and I/O capacity. The processors are optimized for large-scale virtualization, high performance computing, and mission critical applications.
“We say this all the time, but our customers push technology to the limit. It’s a priority for us to bring them the latest, best performing products the second they are available,” Sam Fleitman, SoftLayer chief operating officer said in a statement. “The E7-4800 series brings the performance and features our customers need to solve real-world business challenges, helping them adapt to quickly changing operational demands as well as address long-term growth requirements.”
The series uses 32nm process technology to offer up to 10 cores per processor and enables two threads per core to run simultaneously.
In addition to performance improvements and latency reductions, the E7-4800 series has advanced power management capabilities, security support including Intel Trusted Execution Technology and improved memory reliability with double device data correction and partial memory mirroring.
“It’s exciting to see SoftLayer harness the performance capabilities of the new Intel Xeon processor to offer leading-edge technology for on-demand data center services and technology innovation,” Jason Waxman, general manager of High Density Computing at Intel said in a statement. “In addition to record-breaking compute power, Intel Xeon processor E7-8800/4800/2800 product families deliver enhanced security and reliability features to meet the needs of the most demanding mission-critical computing environments and high-end computing applications.”
Now available from its website, SoftLayer says it is offering the E7-4800 in Quad Processor 8-core and Quad Processor 10-core server configurations.
