If you follow the popular press, you may think law firms are hurting themselves in their rush to license cloud-based services. But for many firms, that may not be the case. In fact, hardware manufacturers like Dell are shoring up their inventories and bringing out new hardware to replace aging equipment that has weathered the economic downturn but is now ready for an upgrade, perhaps even a change in server architecture from RISC and UNIX-based systems to Intel x86 and x64 computing.
Dell recently refreshed the high end of their PowerEdge server systems with the new Westmere-EX Xeon E7 series processors. The new servers support four E7 series processors; each processor can have up to 10 cores and 20 threads. The servers have low-voltage, dual inline memory modules, and support Dell’s FlexMem Bridge technology, which scales memory support for 2-socket, or 2-processor, systems and enables them to support the memory normally only addressable by four-socket systems. This means you can start out with two processors and scale to four with the same memory configuration.
