Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ Processor to Power
DAUM Communications
Major Korean Internet Portal Site to Upgrade Its
Performance-Per-Watt and Scale-out Capabilities with Quad-Core AMD
Opteron Processors
SEOUL, Korea (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) June 24, 2008 --
AMD (NSYE: AMD) today announced that DAUM Communications (“DAUM”),
one of the largest portal sites in Korea, has selected Quad-Core
AMD Opteron™ processors to power its
server systems for the company’s next
generation web search service infrastructure. DAUM is a major provider
of email, search, news aggregation, shopping, chat and other web
applications. DAUM’s selection was based on
the outstanding system-level performance, revolutionary
features, and performance-per-watt
advantages of Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors.
DAUM is upgrading its web search service infrastructure as part of its
strategy to enhance service quality and gain a competitive edge in the
ever-changing online service market in Korea. DAUM, based on the
scalability, performance, and energy efficiency of Quad-Core AMD Opteron
processors, has decided to install more than 1,000 AMD processor-based
server systems.
With the DAUM project, which will be one of the largest Quad-Core AMD
Opteron processor-based installation in Korea, AMD is demonstrating
momentum in its effort to aggressively drive adoption of quad-core
technology in the Korean server market. AMD has a strong presence in the
regional online gaming, portal and IDC markets, and with the advent of
native multi-core processing capability is experiencing increased
commercial acceptance in the financial services, public sector and
manufacturing industries.
“To establish an infrastructure that enables
us to provide outstanding services to more than 38 million users, we
have conducted an in-depth analysis of the performance, energy
consumption, and reliability features of Quad-Core AMD Opteron™
processors,” said Sung-Kyu Park, Manager of
Infra System Technology Team of DAUM Communications. “The
answer was that Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor-based systems were the
best choice for us. We expect to realize a dramatic increase in
performance without a substantial increase in power consumption compared
to dual-core systems after optimization.”
“The DAUM Communications project demonstrates
the strength of the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor’s
industry-leading technologies,” said James
Kim, senior marketing manager, AMD Korea. “AMD
will continue to work closely with our technology partners and customers
to deliver solutions that meet the demands for high performance systems,
low power consumption and simple, highly efficient infrastructure
management.”
AMD Korea plans to expand its promotional programs and seminar offerings
for enterprise and small/medium business customers and major server
manufacturers to highlight the compelling performance and business
advantages of the Quad-Core AMD Opteron processor.
