CFMX 8.01 Enterprise with 64-bit Opteron on Win 64-bit

  • April 20, 2008

We have to buy a new web server and I was looking at a Dell machine with 2x 64-bit Opteron processors.

As of today, will CFMX 8.01 Enterprise works in 64-bit with these processors ? The OS will either be Windows Server 2003 64-bit OR Windows Server 2008 64-bit edition... that ain't gonna be a UNIX or Linux machine.

One of our main web sites is doing a lot of computation and data analysis so I know for sure that running in native 64-bit should increase our performance by about 15% just for that (instead of 32-bit).

I've read in (a few months old) posts that the JVM on windows runs, or is supported, in 32-bit only ? Is that still true considering that CFMX 8.01 Enterprise is supposed to be fully 64-bit ? On the CFMX product sheet they talks about Intel 64-bit chipsets... no words about AMD Opteron 64-bit.

Many thanks !

    Patrick,

    This should help:

    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/64_bit.html

    And Enterprise should run on those operating systems.
