HP Updates High-End Servers for Windows

With the new NetServer AA 6200, HP has practically doubled the power of its high-end servers, guaranteeing a significantly lower number of crashes compared to servers in the same category.

HP has also concluded a multi-million dollar agreement for the use of technology from a company called Marathon to reduce the number of crashes on Windows servers. We’ll keep an eye on it and keep you updated on developments.

At the moment there is great excitement and a major religious war between supporters of Unix-based and Windows-based architectures for high-performance servers. There are those who swear that Windows servers will never be as reliable as Unix ones, due to an intrinsic problem in the kernel architecture.

One thing is certain: the more architectures present for healthy competition, the greater the possibilities that the services offered by these servers will be truly usable on a global scale.
