Hello,

March 31, midnight: Intel Nehalem is officially launched!

Intel today released the new Nehalem processor that replaces the
older Xeon processors. This new processor is very interesting
for heavy applications that require simultaneous process.
In these cases, with power consumption and frequency
equal, the new E55XX is about 30% more powerful than the old E54XX.
This new processor therefore is ideal for new needs
related to Virtualization and Cloud Computing. Each processor
run 4 cores and 8 threads with hyperthreading. It is found on the
HG and the 2009 Revolution 2xE5530 with 8 cores and 16 threads
clocked at 2.4GHz. It is a monster ...

The architecture has also changed. The northbridge is integrated into the
processor and thus the processors communicate directly with the
RAM (DDR3). Communication between the CPU and the PCI bus is going
now on a bus of QPI 5.6Tbps! In short, there is finally a
to new processors with more cores / threads
for which computing power can be effectively used without
the loadings of the internal bus.

OVH, your host Roubaix Valley, was able to obtain enough of these
parts for you ... 12 servers on the day! So we propose these 12 servers

... half price ... !

This is the 2009 HG Revolution BestOf with 2xE5530 16x2.4GHz with
12GB ECC DDR3 RAM, 2x1To in SAS, with 2x1Gbps. This server preview
is proposed £199 +VAT / month instead of £399+VAT month (as long
as you reorder). A golden opportunity to have a HG at a reduced price.

We have only 12 servers ready to ship. When the order
is resolved, it will be delivered in 1 hour. As soon as the payment of the
12th server has been registered, the promotion is over. It is therefore a
promotion for administrators insomniacs ... those working
night
