Mandrake Corporate Server gets AMD Opteron support
Apr. 23, 2003

(PR excerpt) -- MandrakeSoft announced the immediate availability of Mandrake Linux Corporate Server 2.1 for the newly released AMD Opteron processor. Mandrake Linux Corporate Server is one of the first business-class operating systems available for the new AMD64 architecture.

Designed to benefit from the power of this new 64-bit processor, the Mandrake Corporate Server 2.1 for the AMD Opteron processor is aimed at businesses that require high-performance systems for intensive computing applications, especially in the field of critical server functions such as web-servers, database deployment (with MySQL-64), and application & file servers.

The Mandrake Linux Corporate server also offers the tools needed to create a full-featured enterprise network, complete with the latest up-to-date software and security updates, and of course MandrakeSoft's legendary "user friendly" touch.

In addition, the Mandrake Corporate Server 2.1 for the AMD Opteron processor is a flexible solution that simplifies migration from the 32-bit world to the 64-bit world as it allows users to run both 32- and 64-bit Linux applications.

"The Mandrake Corporate Server 2.1 for the AMD Opteron processor is the result of an intensive one-year collaboration with AMD to deliver a comprehensive, full-featured and powerful Linux operating system for this exciting new platform. Sold with an extended support offering, the Mandrake Corporate Server 2.1 will meet the strong demand for high-availability servers running on this new generation of AMD64 technology," said Jacques Le Marois, President of MandrakeSoft.

When compared to the same product running on a traditional 32-bit architecture, the Corporate Server 2.1 for AMD Opteron processors can offer an average performance gain of 25% as a result of AMD64 architecture.

The Mandrake Linux Corporate Server is sold under a subscription basis which includes the product, support and direct access to software updates. Two support options are available: the "Standard" option ($749 USD) is valid for five incidents within a one-year period, and the "Unlimited" option ($1499 USD) is valid for unlimited incidents during a one-year period. This product is also available for OEMs.
