Paul, re: " "Freei.Net is purchasing hundreds of Intel's LB440GX 2U Rack Server Platforms as the Internet
service provider continues to experience explosive growth in its national subscriber base."
Good article, thanks.
So, Intel is in the server business after all, well kept secret. Actually, they have been selling nodes, which is what these used to be called, since the Pentium Pro days. Another thing is that you know Intel must be using these all over the place in their web-hosting center(s), or server farms. The benefits of this are many...you save money by not paying another server vendor's profits, Intel maintenance personnel ought to be quite familiar with them for installation, maintenance, upgrade, etc.
2U is just 3 1/2 inches high, so you can stack a lot of these babies. I'll bet other ISP's and any other server users love this.
