Fabric7 Delivers Advanced Resource Management Capabilities on Flagship Q160 Server11 July 2006
Advanced functionality for the Q-Visor™ software, which enables a Q160 server to act as a single, remote management point for a fabric-wide collection of other Q160 or Q80 servers through an intuitive Java-based user interface. In addition to the enhancements to the Q160, Fabric7 is also announcing five new feature packages of its Q80 midrange enterprise server. The Q80 offers an 8-socket platform of AMD Opteron processors with the added flexibility of hardware-partitioning through Fabric7's Q-par™ technology. Both server models can be partitioned into two, four or eight-socket partitions, and each server (in various configurations) has achieved major performance success on the SPECjbb2005 benchmark, with the Q80 recently reaching 180,418 business operations per second (bops) on the Microsoft Windows 2003™ operating system (22,552 bops/JVM). For full Fabric7 SPECjbb2005 performance results, please visit the SPEC Web site at www.SPEC.org.
The Q160 and Q80 servers run industry-standard Windows™ and Linux™ operating systems (Novell SuSE® and Red Hat Enterprise Linux) and can be managed through the company's Q-Visor™ management suite. The Q80 also runs Sun Microsystems' Solaris™ 10 operating system, easing the transition for customers moving from expensive proprietary RISC chip sets, to the more economical x86 platform with Fabric7.

Fabric7's servers start at $28,700 for the Q80 midrange enterprise server. The starting list price for the Fabric7 Q160 server, with its built-in high-speed switched fabric, is $144,000. For full pricing information, as well as competitive comparisons, visit the Fabric7 Web site at www.fabric7.com.
