SynopsisThis book covers the development and application of Itanium. It describes why the revolutionary leap forward in processing power can help CEO's achieve their company's vision. It also discusses the implication of these changes to a company's IT infrastructure. The book touches on issues involving how to move away from the desktop model of computing into implementing a system that best makes use of the IPF. The final section of the book discusses the future of the IPF and the technological changes resulting from it., The Itanium processor family gives high-end server and workstation buyers the powerful price/performance benefits that PC buyers have long taken for granted. In this book, two leaders of HP's Itanium processor initiative present the guide for business and technical professionals who are implementing or evaluating Itanium technologies., This comprehensive review of the relevant surgical techniques provides pertinent and concise summaries of how to deal with a range of liver and biliary disorders. It covers both benign and malignant problems in addition to minimally invasive procedures.
