Benefits of 64-Bit Computing
The 64-bit versions of the Windows Server 2003 family are designed to run on high-performance 64-bit processors. These processors improve performance and scalability by processing more data per clock cycle, addressing more memory, and running faster numeric calculations.
For workloads that are memory-intensive or compute-intensive, the performance and scalability benefits are often dramatic. Large data sets can be loaded entirely into memory, reducing the need for slower disk access; complex calculations that take hours to complete on 32-bit systems can be done in minutes; workloads that once required large server farms can be deployed on a single server.
Ultimately, these breakthroughs lower your total cost of ownership (TCO) by delivering superior price performance and reducing administration costs. At the same time, the 64-bit versions of Windows Server 2003 share the same familiar user interface and development environment as their 32-bit counterparts, allowing you to leverage your existing Windows skills. Because 64-bit Windows Server 2003 systems integrate seamlessly with other members of the Windows Server family, you can add 64-bit systems for the workloads that need it, while keeping the rest of your 32-bit environment intact.
The Windows Server 2003 family supports two different 64-bit architectures. The first is called Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC), and supports the Intel Itanium processor family. This version is well-suited for native 64-bit applications requiring the highest levels of scalability.
The second 64-bit architecture supported by the Windows Server 2003 family is based on 64-bit extensions to the x86 instruction set, and supports both AMD64 and Xeon processors with 64-bit extension technology. This platform lets you take advantage of the wealth of existing 32-bit Windows applications, while also powering the latest 64-bit technology.
