The Intel® Itanium® 2 processor is ideally suited to hosting the application servers for enterprise-class.NET and J2EE applications. In addition to the support for the key managed runtime-environment application servers (including optimization for many of them), the processor provides predication, speculation, and explicit parallelism. Working relationships between Intel and Microsoft, BEA, IBM, Oracle, and others ensure that the largest possible number of application servers will perform optimally on 64-bit Intel architecture.
