Itanium 2 used to build DNS super-server
Summary
Rather than strip down and harden an existing operating system such as Windows or Linux to make it run faster and more securely, Secure64 developed its own minimalist OS, SourceT, to exploit some of the hardware security features of Intel s 64-bit Itanium 2 processor. SourceT authenticates its own code when the server is booted up, a process that makes the system immune to rootkits and similar malware, Secure64 said. The DNS appliance software is priced at $9,995, excluding the cost of the hardware required to run it. Secure64 will initially only support the software on Hewlett-Packard Co.s Integrity rx2660 server, an Itanium 2 system available in either pedestal or rack-mounted forms. Secure64 DNS is the first product the Greenwood Village, Colorado, has released for its SourceT OS.
