"OpenLinux 64 on the Itanium processor represents a milestone in Caldera engineering," said Drew Spencer, CTO, Caldera. "It is the first of many Caldera products that will take advantage of Intel's next generation processor. Corporate developers, ISVs, VSPs, VARs, and early Itanium processor adopters using OpenLinux 64 will benefit from the vast amounts of memory and processing power Itanium supplies. In addition, OpenLinux 64 offers a powerful server and high-performance workstation for simple development and enhanced deployment of Linux applications." "Intel Itanium processors deliver higher levels of performance, scalability and availability, enabling customers to increase their competitiveness worldwide," said Lisa Hambrick, director of Enterprise Processor Marketing, Intel. "With its support for Intel Itanium processors, Caldera OpenLinux 64 will also be able to deliver world-class service to its global customer and partner base." "Availability of Caldera's OpenLinux 64 is an important step in bringing increased scalability and performance to Linux-based applications running on industry standard 64-bit architectures," said Rick Becker, vice president, business development and OS marketing, Compaq Industry Standard Server Group. "Releases of 64-bit Itanium-based development platforms such as OpenLinux 64 align with Compaq's commitment to enabling the development and porting of Itanium-based applications on ProLiant servers through the TrailBlazer program, and will be crucial as Linux continues to gain adoption in enterprise computing environments for demanding back end applications, such as databases." "Fujitsu welcomes the launch of OpenLinux 64 Release 3.1," said Akira Ozora, general manager, Linux Division, Software Group, FUJITSU Ltd. "Caldera's OpenLinux distribution is ideal for developing large-scale high performance systems with large RAM capacity using Intel's 64-bit Itanium processor and is essential in promoting the use of Linux in business and R&D." "Fujitsu introduced the first PRIMERGY N4000 IA server that adopts Intel's 64-bit Itanium processor and is committed to delivering high performance large-scale systems using the Linux platform," added Ozora. "In cooperation with Caldera, Fujitsu will continue to provide solutions to further expand Linux-based applications." OpenLinux 64 packages provide developers with a stable 64-bit Linux software foundation, which includes: -- Linux 2.4.5 kernel -- gcc 3.0 and a wide variety of GNU development tools -- glibc 2.2.3 -- Secure Apache web server -- Samba, and NFS file and print -- A wide variety of core Linux services such as: FTP, DNS, mail, etc. -- kdevelop (various, emphasizes C++/KDE/QT) -- QT Designer (C++/GUI) This foundation enables OpenLinux 64 users to personalize the operating system according to their needs by selecting one of three install options: a Linux server, a Linux workstation or all the Linux software packages needed to develop and deploy their Itanium-based applications.
