LINUXWORLD SF: Red Hat rolls out support for AMD's Hammer
In another vote of confidence for Advanced Micro Devices Inc.'s (AMD) soon-to-be-released family of 64-bit processors, formerly codenamed Hammer, Red Hat Inc. today announced plans to offer a version of Red Hat Linux Advanced Server optimized for the new processor family.
Red Hat Linux Advanced Server will offer native 64-bit processor support for Hammer and will be compatible with existing 32-bit Linux applications, the company said in a statement. Working in conjunction with AMD, Red Hat plans to demonstrate a 32-bit version of Red Hat Linux Advanced Server running on a 64-bit Athlon-based system at the LinuxWorld 2002 exhibition in San Francisco, it said.
The 64-bit Athlon processor, previously codenamed ClawHammer, is expected to begin shipping later this year and is targeted at the desktop market. AMD will also ship next year a 64-bit processor named Opteron, formerly known as SledgeHammer, for multi-way servers and workstations. Both chips are based on AMD's x86-64 architecture which provides support for 32-bit and 64-bit software.
Red Hat is the latest software company to announce plans to support AMD's Hammer family of 64-bit processors. Linux SuSE AG has said it will ship a 64-bit version of its Linux operating system for Hammer and Microsoft Corp. has announced plans to release a 64-bit version of its Windows XP operating system optimized for Hammer.
IBM Corp. has also announced plans to ship a version of its DB2 database for the Hammer version of SuSE's 64-bit Linux OS.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
