The Power of Partnership
One of the Itanium Solutions Alliance's founding goals was to provide the most extensive system, applications, and support network in the industry. Founders Bull, Fujitsu, Fujitsu Siemens, Hitachi, HP, Intel, NEC, SGI, and Unisys, along with Charter Members BEA, Microsoft, Novell, Oracle, SAP, SAS, and Sybase, set the tone and are the reason why Itanium-based solutions continue to evolve at such a rapid rate. The companies often have competing interests, but they work together, to create a stronger, sustainable ecosystem for Itanium-based servers which, in the long run, benefits customers by providing more choices from a strong set of offerings.
Yes, You Can: Dynamic Hardware Partitioning Is Now a Reality

Mark Twain, Rumors and the Next Big Thing
To paraphrase Mark Twain: The rumors of our death have been greatly exaggerated. Not only is Itanium still here, it's going strong and poised for significant advancements with the launch of the next-generation processor, Tukwila, due out in late 2008. IDC has described Itanium as the fastest growing server platform in the world based on their research! All of this helps the Itanium Solutions Alliance, which has been making great progress in many areas including membership, application support, and strong relationships with partners such as Microsoft.
Tukwila: The World’s First 2 billion Transistor Microprocessor
At ISSCC in San Francisco in February, Intel unveiled many of the much-anticipated details behind Tukwila, the next generation Itanium microprocessor, which is the world's first processor with more than 2 billion transistors. Tukwila is slated for release in late 2008.
