Data Center Transformation: Observations and
Recommendations
Today’s data centers require information technology to support heterogeneous environments as well as address operational constraint issues. Network attached processing, pioneered by Azul Systems, delivers massive amounts of compute and memory capacity as a shared network service to Java™ J2EE™ based applications. Get the inside scoop from the Robert Francis Group on why workload throughput is more important than CPU utilization, how to maximize resources by finding “hidden costs”, and how to adapt to the changing needs of data centers.
RFG believes the enterprise data center is undergoing significant and sustained transformation, as enterprises seek to build and operate more business-centric, elastic, and services-based IT infrastructures, and as underlying technologies undergoes experience a massive architectural shift.

Azul Systems First to Deliver 48-Way Multicore Chip, Redefining Standard in Enterprise Computing
Vega 2 Processor Previews with
812 Million Transistors, Enables More Efficient Computing and Unprecedented Throughput While Eliminating Significant Cost
Mountain View, CA – March 27, 2006 – Azul Systems, Inc., the pioneer of the industry’s first network attached processing solution designed to deliver compute and memory resources as a shared network service for transaction-intensive applications, today announced their next generation Vega™ 2 processor, the world’s first and only single-chip 64-bit processor with 48 cache-coherent processor cores for use in the company’s industry-leading, award winning compute appliances.
Designed by Azul and fabricated by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC,) the Vega 2 processor utilizes an advanced 90nm process, a 9-layer copper/low-k interconnect, and multi-threshold transistors for optimal performance-power efficiency. This revolutionary processor is poised to spur more energy-efficient, higher density, and larger capacity compute appliances that meet critical data center needs such as higher asset utilization, improved security, and lower-cost per transaction, all while reducing real-estate, electricity and associated management costs.
