Intel plans India specific initiatives

BS ICE Bureau

The global microprocessor leader Intel is planning to take up a slew of India specific initiatives like migration of applications to the new processor (Itanium), training programmes for developers, customer training by field and early systems availability, to build up support for its "Itanium" processor based servers.

Intel will also put more emphasis on Konark -- its Itanium competency centre at Pune, which is the company's first investment in the Asia-Pacific

This was announced by GB Kumar, general manager, Intel Internet solutions group, while briefing the media persons on the recently launched - Itanium processors.

Presently, our market share in the back-end database server market is about 34 per cent where as the market share in the front-end infrastructure and mid-tier application servers are 89 per cent and 69 per cent respectively.

Our aim is to become market leader in the database servers as well through the 64 bit processors, of which Itanium is the first , Kumar said.

The processor uses Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing technology to enable breakthrough levels of performance (up to 20 operations per clock) in targeted application segments. It is compatible with the existing 32-bit Intel Architecture hardware.

We expect that by the end of the year, 30 original equipment manufacturers would be shipping their products using the processor and over 400 applications and tools would be ready by then, Kumar said.
