Unisys Corporation has unveiled the first models of its next-generation ClearPath family of mainframe-class enterprise servers based on multi-core Intel Xeon processors. The new models are the first major milestone in Unisys previously announced plans to deliver a common platform architecture, leveraging advanced Intel processor technology, for all Unisys enterprise servers.
The new ClearPath Dorado Model 400 and Libra Model 400 series support advanced releases of the Unisys OS 2200 and MCP operating environments, respectively. These releases provide optimized support for ClearPath systems using Intel or proprietary processor technology. Both operating environments provide full compatibility of applications written on earlier-generation ClearPath systems based on CMOS processors.
Unisys visionary next-generation server architecture will be the first in the market enabling four operating environments – Microsoft Windows and Linux as well as Unisys OS 2200 and MCP – to run concurrently on the same computer system in a single virtualized partition. Unisys integrated virtualization and management capabilities will enable server resources to be shared dynamically, with business services from any combination of those operating environments able to address the client’s business requirements.
Unisys enterprise servers based on the multi-core Intel Xeon processors are core components in a real-time infrastructure (RTI). A mature RTI environment is driven by key performance indicators tied to strategic business processes, including customer satisfaction, business growth and competitiveness. This enables dynamic management of a real-time IT ecosystem that can sense business changes and respond immediately.
