Pogo Linux Announces Support for new Intel Dual Core Platform

Intel Dual Core Technology will integrate easily with customers’ compute-intensive Linux environments

BOSTON – April 5, 2006 -- Pogo Linux, a premier Linux server vendor, today announced support for Intel’s next generation platform that will support true dual core processing. Forthcoming Pogo Linux server solutions are designed to help Linux users take advantage of the Intel platform’s new capabilities and reduced power consumption to boost compute-intensive application function and lower total cost of ownership.

Pogo Linux systems featuring the next-generation dual-core CPU architecture will take advantage of many design improvements. The dual independent front side bus design will boost data communication, while I/O acceleration technology will further enhance system performance. For advanced memory function, systems will include cutting-edge use of fully buffered dual in-line memory modules (DIMM).

“This new Intel platform supporting dual core promises huge advances in performance and cost-effectiveness, and we've specifically designed our solutions to harness those gains in a powerful, reliable system for our customers’ diverse Linux environments,” said Jared Giles, Director of Product Development for Pogo Linux. “Customers who look to Pogo Linux for superior support and expertise can expect that we'll help them quickly optimize new Intel technology to supercharge their computing and make the most of their IT budget.”

In addition to cost-savings afforded by the new Intel platform’s lower power requirements, the Pogo Linux solutions will feature virtualization technology that will help customers make the most of systems without the capital and maintenance costs of additional hardware – to further reduce total cost of ownership.

Availability

Available in Q2 2006, Pogo Linux solutions featuring the new dual core design will be compatible with various versions of Linux, including Red Hat Enterprise, CentOS, Ubuntu and Fedora Core.
