Hewlett-Packard Co. showed new computer servers based on Intel Corp.’s Itanium chip that deliver faster processing while consuming less power, even as the computer maker moves customers to a different technology platform over time.
Hewlett-Packard introduced new servers that plug into its Superdome 2 and BladeSystem chassis, and an entry-level machine for smaller companies. The hardware -- along with advances in Hewlett-Packard’s HP-UX operating system software -- can process computing transactions as much as three times faster than previous Itanium-based servers while using less energy, the Palo Alto, California-based company said in a statement.
