惠普官方重申：未来10年继续支持安腾

DOSERV服务器在线 3月24日原创报道：在近日曝出《甲骨文放弃软件支持》之后，有外媒表示，惠普称甲骨文此举“无耻”，是为了保证其自身SPARC服务器（来自收购的Sun公司）的销量的恶意竞争手段，并对此表示极度的失望。

此后，该事件逐步演变为对安腾处理器及惠普动能服务器的一次“反对派浪潮”，就此，惠普公司责成负责中国企业级业务的博雅公共关系公司发布了一封名为《惠普EB新闻稿：HP Supports Customers Despite Oracle’s Anti-customer Actions》的新闻邮件，其中写道：

2011年3月24日，北京——惠普重申，在未来10年，惠普将一如继往地对基于安腾处理器、运行HP-UX操作系统的Integrity动能服务器平台进行持续的研发和创新。

同时，惠普将继续支持客户在基于安腾处理器的当前和未来的Integrity动能服务器平台上运行甲骨文软件的现有版本。

以下为英文新闻稿原文，中文版本据称将“即日发布”：

HP Supports Customers Despite Oracle’s Anti-customer Actions

Amid plummeting SPARC server market share, Oracle seeks to force customers to buy their servers(DOIT编辑部注：在SPARC服务器市场份额暴跌的情况下，这是甲骨文此举是试图迫使客户购买自己的服务器。)

PALO ALTO, Calif., March 23, 2011 – HP today reiterated that it will continue the development and innovation of Itanium®-based Integrity server platforms with its HP-UX operating system using a roadmap that extends more than 10 years.

In addition, HP will continue to support customers running existing versions of Oracle software on Itanium-based Integrity servers, both existing and future platforms, during the same timeframe. Last year, HP launched the industry’s most modern mission-critical architecture in more than a decade. (DOIT编辑部注：惠普将继续支持基于安腾处理器的动能服务器运行Oracle软件，包括现在和未来的平台，以及软件的现有版本。去年惠普推出了过去十年行业内最先进的关键业务架构。)This constitutes the longest published roadmap of any UNIX vendor in the industry.

“Oracle continues to show a pattern of anti-customer behavior as they move to shore up their failing Sun server business,” said Dave Donatelli, executive vice president and general manager, Enterprise Servers, Storage and Networking, HP. “HP believes in fair and honest competition. Competition is good for customers, innovation and the marketplace. We are shocked that Oracle would put enterprises and governments at risk while costing them hundreds of millions of dollars in lost productivity in a shameless gambit to limit fair competition.”

In a direct contradiction to a statement made yesterday by Oracle, Paul Otellini, president and chief executive officer, Intel Corporation said, “Intel’s work on Intel Itanium processors and platforms continues unabated with multiple generations of chips currently in development and on schedule. We remain firmly committed to delivering a competitive, multi-generational roadmap for HP-UX and other operating system customers that run the Itanium architecture.”

Poulson is Intel’s next-generation 32-nm, 8-core-based Itanium chip, and is on track to more than double the performance of the existing Tukwila architecture. Kittson is an officially committed roadmap product for Itanium beyond Poulson and also is in active development. Intel® Itanium processor industry momentum will be highlighted in a keynote at the upcoming Beijing Intel Developer’s Forum.(DOIT编辑部注：在北京的英特尔IDF论坛上，英特尔的安腾处理器的强劲发展势头必然会成为现场演讲的一个亮点。)PS:<见：2011英特尔信息技术峰会将展示个性化计算>

HP moved ahead into second position in the Unix market while Sun lost share and fell back into third since Oracle announced it would acquire Sun in April of 2009. It is clear that Oracle customers are voting with their purchasing decisions against the Sun platform. This latest Oracle action of disinformation is clearly an attempt to force customers into purchasing Sun servers in a desperate move to slow their declining market share.

HP remains committed to supporting its customers and their applications through the next decade and beyond. Customers who wish to preserve a fair and competitive marketplace can email Oracle at gcp-customerfeedback_us@oracle.com.

Chip Shot: Intel Reaffirms Commitment to Itanium

As a result of recent announcements from Oracle, Intel is taking this opportunity to directly reiterate its plans for the Itanium processor.  “Intel’s work on Intel Itanium processors and platforms continues unabated with multiple generations of chips currently in development and on schedule,”（DOIT编辑部注：鉴于甲骨文公司近期公布的声明，英特尔借此机会重申安腾处理器的计划，英特尔扔家继续在安腾及其平台上进行多代的发展且进度不减） said Paul Otellini, president and CEO of Intel Corporation “We remain firmly committed to delivering a competitive, multi-generational roadmap for HP-UX and other operating system customers that run the Itanium architecture.”（DOIT编辑部注：我们仍然决心参与竞争激烈的市场，为惠普的HP-UX操作系统及其他操作系统运行在安腾平台上制定多代的路线图）  Poulson is Intel’s next generation 32nm 8 core based Itanium chip, and is on track to more than double the performance of the existing Tukwila architecture.   Kittson is an officially committed roadmap product for Itanium beyond Poulson and is also in active development. （DOIT编辑部注：Kittson是一个正式承诺的安腾发展路线图上的产品，同时，Poulson也会朝着积极的方向发展。）   Intel Itanium processor industry momentum will be highlighted in a keynote at the upcoming Beijing Intel Developer’s Forum.
