AMD Expands Its Validated Server Program To Include Supermicro, Tyan And Uniwide

AMD (NYSE: AMD) today welcomed three new participants – Supermicro Computer, Inc., Tyan Computer Corporation and Uniwide Technologies, Inc. – to its Validated Server Program (VSP), broadening the program’s reach in North America and Europe and into new geographical regions. AMD’s VSP is designed to connect solution providers with VSP participants to obtain qualified, reliable, stable and well-supported server solutions based on single- and Dual-Core AMD Opteron™ processors with the industry’s best performance-per-watt. The three new participants are expected to introduce new platforms to be sold under the VSP banner later this quarter in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America.

“The scope and breadth of reliable, stable server solutions validated by AMD for the channel is growing substantially, giving solution providers, system integrators and value-added resellers and their customers more choices and quick access to AMD64 technology,” said Pat Moorhead, vice president, Global Channel Marketing, Microprocessor Solutions Sector, AMD. “Adding these three stellar companies further strengthens our Validated Server Program, which is designed to help our solution provider customers develop and offer top-quality server solutions to meet the needs and demands of end-users. Each of these manufacturers has met rigorous standards of performance and service in order to participate.”

The VSP program was launched in June 2003, connecting solution providers with servers from Newisys, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sanmina-SCI. Newisys is an original design manufacturer providing server and storage systems for leading original equipment manufacturers and system builders.
