Software for Scaling Internet Computing Infrastructures on Intel Servers
Intel-compatible servers to scale their Internet computing infrastructures safely, reliably and on demand.
GSX Server was developed to help customers achieve mainframe-class control on Intel servers and ESX Server is a highly scalable product for high-performance server environments designed to add mainframe-class resource and system management capabilities.
According to the manufacturer, the servers were created to deliver managed services on Intel servers with mainframe-class quality and Internet speed; to simplify computing environments that are complex, with a number of incompatible hardware platforms, operating systems and applications; and to do so without increasing IT budgets or adding staff. The manufacturer states that, with these products, users can create a uniform software platform for delivering applications and services on Intel servers that factor out hardware and operating system differences and simplifies deployment and management.
The manufacturer's software is based on the company's patent-pending MultipleWorlds technology, a thin software layer that sits between the Intel architecture and the operating system, virtualizing the hardware and managing all hardware resources.
