AMD's quad squad: After months of anticipation and delays, AMD has finally unveiled Barcelona, its innovative quad-core processor. Just what will Barcelona mean for the enterprise? Will it be worth the wait?

Just what will Barcelona mean for the enterprise? Will it be worth the wait? Over the next week (and beyond), InfoWorld Chief Technologist Tom Yager will share his insights based on the information on which he’s been sitting for months, as well as his hands-on experience with the chip. It’s a storage world after all: Senior Test Center Analyst Mario Apicella has been busy of late putting some storage gear through its paces. First, he got an exclusive look at NetApp’s newly unveiled crown prince of entry-level storage arrays, the FAS2020. He finds to be an impressively high-capacity, high-performance solution, boasting a “rich portfolio of applications, rock-solid reliability, plenty of bandwidth to connect FC and Ethernet networks, and an abundance of management tools.” Second, Mario got to kick the tires on Dell’s MD3000i iSCSI array, which he says “promises more deployment flexibility and easier sharing across multiple servers than the MD3000, its direct-attached sibling.” Though hindered by the moment by lack of available SATA drives, it’s a strong competitor, delivering good management and reliability.
