We don’t know how many Itanium microprocessors Intel still manufactures in its wafer manufactories.
The chip hasn’t been an Intel runaway success but today HP said it lives on its mission critical HP Nonstop technology for X86 servers.
According to HP, eight of the top 10 world banks use HP Nonstop and now the company is selling Integrity blade servers based on the Itanium 9500 series.
HP is, it said already developing tech to extend Nonstop to the X86 but it willtake several years before adoption, the company said.
Blade systems NB56000c-cg and NB56000c are already available, with prices varying. Resellers should contact their HP account manager for more information.
