2.1 x450 application solutions
With the x450 in the IA-64 environment, you are ready to deploy even larger
implementations of enterprise solutions.
As companies' performance demands grow, 64-bit technology becomes an
increasingly attractive option, due to increased memory addressability and true
parallel architecture. There are a number of ways the x450 can be deployed in
specific application solution environments. These include:
Database applications
Business logic
e-business and security transactions
In-house developed compute-intensive applications
Science and technology
