Other Information
Sue,
I just downloaded the latest engine of Sophos Anti-Virus for VMS and I
noticed that along with the normal VAX and Alpha versions, there is
also now an Itanium version in the kit.
I´ve attached a copy of the release notes that mention it.
Looking around on their web site sophos.com there is no press release
or anything, but I thought people would be interested to know.
New in this version
-------------------
* Support for OpenVMS on the Itanium architecture
* New virus information

Itanium allies to pool development efforts
CNET / Aug 30, 2005
By Stephen Shankland
Many companies backing Intel's Itanium processor are planning to
announce a new alliance in September to try to make it easier for
customers to adopt systems using the high-end chip, CNET News.com
has learned.
The group, called the Itanium Solutions Alliance, has several plans to
make Itanium more useful, said a source involved with the outfit. The
alliance will sponsor porting events to help programmers bring their
software to the processor, set up porting centers where such work can
take place and create catalogs so customers in specific industries can
find combinations of Itanium hardware and software for various tasks.
In addition to Intel and Hewlett-Packard--the co-developer of Itanium
and the top seller of Itanium servers--the alliance includes server
makers NEC, SGI, Unisys, Hitachi, Fujitsu and Bull, and software makers
Microsoft, Red Hat, Novell, Oracle, SAP and SAS, the source said.
The alliance is a new step in a years-long effort to encourage broad
Itanium use and is an indication of just how much effort its backers are
willing to put into getting the processor to catch on. But some believe
the effort is late.
"It sure would have been nice to have this several years ago," Sageza
Group analyst Clay Ryder said. "What happened here is Intel seriously
underestimated the support the marketplace would have for an
incompatible platform and believed 'if we (Intel) say it's industry
standard, everybody will come.' Clearly that didn't happen."
Intel and HP declined to comment for this report. However, Intel
spokeswoman Erica Fields said the chipmaker has been working hard
to attract hardware and software partners and now there are more
than 5,000 software applications and five operating systems available
for Itanium.
There are plenty of companies selling and buying Itanium-related
products, but not nearly the number Intel and HP projected when the
chip was under development in the 1990s.
Itanium's rocky past
The chip's debut this decade was marred by delays, low initial
performance and incompatibility with software for x86 processors such
as Pentium and Xeon, which are vastly more widely used. In 2004, Intel
missed Itanium shipment goals and HP scrapped its Itanium
workstation. In 2005, IBM backed off plans to sell its own Itanium
servers.
In response to the troubles, Intel redefined Itanium as a chip chiefly
intended for high-end multiprocessor servers, models that today
usually use RISC (reduced instruction set computing) processors such
as IBM's Power, Sun Microsystems' UltraSparc, Fujitsu's Sparc64 and
HP's PA-RISC.
In line with that high-end positioning, Microsoft's planned update to its
Windows Server 2003 operating system--called R2--won't be available
for Itanium. Microsoft's rationale for the move is that R2 is geared
toward smaller servers. The Window Server 2003 successor due in
2007, code-named Longhorn Server, will support Itanium, however.
Itanium hasn't yet reached heir-apparent status by most estimates. HP-
-the server maker that has pushed the chip most aggressively--sold
$108 million in Itanium-based Unix servers in the second quarter of
2005, compared with $1.1 billion in the PA-RISC-based Unix servers
they're intended to replace, according to Gartner figures.
But Intel has convinced Unisys, NEC, SGI, Fujitsu and Hitachi to join HP
in designing mammoth Itanium systems and bringing them to the
market.
"The industry has lined up--all but one--with Itanium as the platform of
choice for RISC replacement and mainframe platforms for the future,"
Pat Gelsinger, general manager of Intel's digital enterprise group, said
last week at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco.
The lone holdout Gelsinger referred to is IBM, whose Power processor
is the second horse in what Intel likes to call a two-horse race, but it
should be noted that Sun also shuns Itanium in favor of high-end
systems built around Sparc processors.
Intel's Itanium plans still extend years into the future. Next up will be a
model code-named Montecito, due to be released by the end of this
year. It employs dual processing engines called cores, an approach
already used by high-end server chips from Sun, HP and IBM.
"Montecito will deliver a huge step up in performance, more than
doubling the performance capabilities of today's Madison family of
products," Gelsinger said last week.
After Montecito comes a close relative called Montvale, in 2006. Then in
2007, Intel plans to introduce a four-core Itanium called Tukwila, a
design that will be succeeded by another four-core chip, code-named
Poulson.
For years, one of Itanium's advantages over Xeon was a 64-bit
architecture that permitted easy use of vast amounts of memory.
Advanced Micro Devices' Opteron brought that feature to x86
processors in 2003, though, and Intel followed suit with 64-bit Xeons in
2004.
The Xeons have the advantage because they run the vast amount of
software already available for x86 processors such as Pentium. But
efforts to expand the pool of available software should help Itanium's
prospects, Ryder said.
"Most people do not buy systems because of floating-point
performance, (and) the war for basic processing capability is largely
over. There's more than enough for most people," Ryder said. "They
buy systems based on applications."
