* Intel® Itanium® Processor 9000 Sequence

Itanium®-based servers deliver the scalable performance, reliability, and headroom for your most compute-intensive workloads, including direct replacement for RISC and mainframe platforms. Because Itanium processors are available in commercial off-the-shelf hardware from a rich ecosystem of system and solution providers, they can quickly meet mission-critical needs.Itanium-based servers are incredibly scalable, allowing configuration in systems of as many as 512 processors and a full petabyte (1024TB) of RAM. Together with full support for both 32-bit and 64-bit applications, that capacity provides unmatched flexibility in tailoring systems to your enterprise needs.Product informationExplore the following resources for more in-depth information about the Intel Itanium processor 9000 sequence:Intel® Itanium® processor 9100 series product brief › (PDF 587KB)Intel® Itanium® processor demoPerformance benchmarksCompare Intel Itanium processor featuresFeatured papersMainframe-Class RAS: Mainframe reliability on industry standard servers › (PDF 456KB)Itanium 1-2-3’s: A brief overview of mission critical computing › (PDF 338KB)IDC White Paper: Virtualization on Itanium › (PDF 412KB)Global supportGet powerful industry-standard technology information and support with the Itanium® Solutions Alliance.Discover a new era in mission critical computing ›Learn how Itanium®-based solutions are changing the way enterprises do businessItanium Solutions ›Features and benefitsDual-core processing, EPIC architecture, and Hyper-Threading Technology†Supports massive, multi-level parallelism for today's data-intensive workloadsProvides headroom for fast access to information and real-time decision makingDelivers fast responses to complex computationsSupport for up to 512 processors and one petabyte (1024TB) RAMProvides scalable performance for enterprise flexibilityGives IT the ability to increase processor and memory capacity as needed, in an open-ended frameworkUp to 24MB of low-latency L3 cachePrevents idle processing cycles with a high-bandwidth data supply to the execution cores Increases the efficiency of the memory subsystemIntel® Cache Safe TechnologyAutomatically recovers cache after cache errorsDelivers mainframe-class availabilityEnhanced Machine Check ArchitectureAutomatically detects, logs, and corrects errorsProvides maximum system uptimeIntel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)±Reduces virtualization complexity and increases performanceIncreases operating system compatibilityDemand-Based SwitchingDynamically reduced energy consumption during typical CPU utilization (in conjunction with enabled OS).
