HP: "still" committed to Itanium... for real!

http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2007/06/hp_still_committed_to_itanium.php So, I guess, the Itanium server chip is not dead after all. Well... actually HP is probably "the" sole reason why Intel has not shelved the moribund processor. The server company is slowly transitioning all its enterprise customers using old PA-RISC/MIPS/Alpha systems to its Itanium based Integrity platform. According to IDC, HP accounted for 70% of the total Itanium market in 2005, i.e $2.2 billion, which rose in 2006 at nearly 82% maket share of the total available market of $3.2 billion. This year the analyst firm expects the market to reach $4.2 billion and $6.8 billion by 2011. http://www.uberpulse.com/us/2007/06/hp_still_committed_to_itanium.php
