Pyramid Technology Corp will unveil its latest generation of commercial multiprocessing RISC-based servers on October 13 in the US – October 15 in the UK. The ES family follows the company’s series T and S machines, and will ship initially with up to 24 MIPS Technologies Inc R3000 RISC processors. Ing C Olivetti & Co SpA, a Pyramid OEM partner, has already stolen some of the Mountain View, California-based company’s thunder by previewing the things at its annual fair way back in June (CI No 1,945). The ES servers double the capacity of the previous top-end MIServer, which came with 12 CPUs. The company will move to MIPS’ latest R4000 technology over time and claims a performance rating of 659 TPC-A for the 24-way ES running Oracle version 7.
