Unisys is hastening the retirement of its proprietary – and geriatric –
mainframe processor, beginning with 12 new ClearPath systems based on
Intel Xeon processors.

"Continuing the ongoing evolution of the ClearPath family to an open
architecture based on Intel x86 processors," the company said in a
statement, "the new models outperform predecessor ClearPath models
based on CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) processors."

The new systems are based on what Unisys calls "an advanced fabric
architecture" that "uses software for processes traditionally performed
by hardware." Powered by Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 processors, the fabric
can incorporate hardware, software, and networking into the Forward! by
Unisys platform, announced last October, which enables secure
partitions through Unisys' s-Par tech.
