HP gooses virtualization for servers

Tukwila chip will be six months later at least

Tukwila chip will be six months later at least because they could not compete with Nehalem chips. DDR3 will now be added which requires the pins to be changed.

Too bad VMWare does not run on Itanium. HP actually uses charts which says "Integrity Virtual Machine - The "VMWare" for Itanium" what a joke. IVM is a modified HP-UX. The overhead is unreal.

Unhappy

How much further will they push out Tukwila. How late is it already!?!? How long will HP continue to subsidize this joke of a chip? It's fairly obvious that Intel is just stringing everyone along until they can convert many of the enterprise features to X64 and kill Itanium. Where will that leave HP's enterprise customers? What a joke!
