SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA -- Aurema Pty Limited, an enterprise software vendor specializing in Active Resource Management(TM) technologies for computer servers, today announced that it has received an investment from the Intel 64 Fund. The investment was made in support of the company's commitment to develop an optimized version of its ARMTech(TM) resource management technology for Intel's IA-64 product family, beginning with the Intel(R) Itanium(TM) processor. Richard Osborne, Aurema's President & CEO said, "Our Active Resource Management(TM) technologies are becoming critical to all server-based operating system environments, in particular, large-scale server consolidation requiring sophisticated resource management. The importance of server consolidation and enhanced server productivity are becoming pervasive as large enterprises, ASPs and Hosting Services seek improved economic efficiency and quality of service (QoS) from their IT capital -- Aurema's ARMTech enables Server Consolidation and enhanced QoS on servers with Intel(R) Architecture processors." Aurema will work with Intel to ensure that the mission critical resource management functionality provided by Aurema's ARMTech is available on IA-64 platforms. Cadol Cheung, Director, Strategic Investments, Intel Capital, explained that, "Servers are the IT backbone that keeps a business running. We're seeing that companies need larger-scale servers and technologies from companies like Aurema to better manage this critical IT resource. The Intel 64 Fund invests in emerging technologies for next-generation servers and workstations."
