Made in China: The Godson Processor
Autor admin | 26.08.2008 | Category SEO
PALO ALTO, Calif. — The 20th annual HOT CHIPS conference at Stanford University is an academic show, not a vendor-driven one. That means the biggest guns share the stage with the littlest pistols; and it gives the little guys a chance to shine.
In this case, a Chinese processor project found itself sandwiched between presentations from AMD and Intel, with its own unique story to tell.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences is a nationally-funded institution with five main areas of focus, one of which is technology. Within that area is the Institute for Computing Technology, which designed the Godson processor, a project that began in 2001.

As enterprises virtualize their data centers to cut costs and consolidate their servers, they may be setting themselves for big trouble.
According to the latest disaster recovery research report from Symantec (NASDAQ: SYMC), based on surveys of 1000 IT managers in large organizations worldwide, 35 percent of an organization’s virtual servers are not included in its disaster recovery (DR) (define) plans.
Worse yet, not all virtual servers included in an organization’s DR plan will be backed up. Only 37 percent of respondents to the survey said they back up more than 90 percent of their virtual systems.

The new Celerra NX4 starts at $20,300, about $12,000 less than the fast-growing NS20. Users sacrifice a little performance and scalability for that price, but it also broadens the market for one of EMC’s most popular products.
Brad Bunce, EMC’s director of Celerra product marketing, said the ability to manage multiple protocols — CIFS, NFS, iSCSI and Fibre Channel — from a single box is “very attractive, especially in the SMB space.
“It’s clearly going to resonate in the SMB space,” he added.
