New AViiON Servers running DG/UX and Microsoft Windows Operating Systems Offer Higher Scalability with Intel's Latest Pentium(R)III Xeon(TM)Processors
WESTBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 2000-- EMC's Data General Division today bolstered its AViiON® server line for enterprise customers with the introduction of new servers for Windows NT, Windows 2000 and DG/UX applications. The new line includes the quad processor AV 3800 and AV 3750 systems, and the recently introduced eight processor AV 8950 running Intel's Pentium® III Xeon(TM) processors at 700 MHz. The robust AViiON line also includes a faster processor for the high-density AV 1400 offering---the Pentium III processors at 850 MHz. These latest enhancements provide a more powerful enterprise consolidation solution that can lower total cost of ownership, accelerate time-to-market and allow customers to achieve high levels of business continuance.
``Data General's commitment to Intel's processor roadmap ensures a high-performance solution for our customers,'' said Andrei Shishov, vice president of product planning and management for Data General, a Division of EMC Corporation. ``Our high density, high-availability solutions along with powerful Intel processing technology provide customers with the confidence that their business-critical needs will be met quickly and efficiently. Our direct sales and support model combined with our 99.9% uptime guarantee for Windows NT and Windows 2000 make these new AViiON servers ideal for business-critical computing.''
``The Intel Pentium III and Pentium III Xeon processors are designed to deliver the performance, scalability, availability and headroom needed to meet the challenges of today's e-business infrastructure,'' said Raghu Murthi, director of marketing for Intel's Enterprise Platform Group. ``EMC's Data General Division's servers based on our latest Pentium III Xeon processor at 700 MHz and the Pentium III processor at 850 MHz provide servers with the power, ease of use and reliability required for enterprise-class systems.''
AV 3800 - Business-Critical Application Support
An ideal platform for Windows NT and Windows 2000 applications, the AV 3800 4U rackmount system supports up to four Intel Pentium III Xeon processors at 700 MHz with 1-MB or 2-MB integrated L2 cache. The AV 3800 offers several advantages over the existing and very popular AViiON 3704R. These advantages include up to 8 GB of ECC protected memory; 8 available PCI slots for maximum I/O; advanced high availability features with five internal 36 GB hot swap disk drives, six hot plug PCI slots, and redundant hot swap power supplies and cooling fans standard with all configurations.
``In-a-Box Packaging''
With the capacity to configure 36 processors in a single cabinet, the AV 3800 is the system of choice for Data General's unique pre-configured, pre-tested, high-availability Cluster-in-a-Box®, TermServer-in-a-Box(TM),Exchange-in-a-Box® or multi-node LAN configurations. The AV 3800 allows configurations to be packaged in a single cabinet with other system components, such as EMC CLARiiON® midrange storage, DLT tape drives or additional AV 3800 systems.
AV 3750 - UNIX Power, Affordable Price
The new AV 3750 DG/UX® system-based rackmount server provides more power for departmental and distributed applications. The AV 3750 offers up to four Intel Pentium III Xeon processors at 700 MHz with a choice of 1-MB or 2-MB integrated L2 cache and high-performance, dual PCI with seven internal PCI slots, providing maximum throughput. This enterprise server provides faster processing power and increased performance at an affordable price. Yet, it is capable of packaging in a single rack with other system components, such as CLARiiON midrange storage systems, DLT tape drives or additional AV 3750 systems for maximum flexibility in a variety of customer applications.
AV 1400 - High Density
The enhanced AV 1400 provides up to two Pentium III processors at 850 MHz with 256 KB of integrated L2 cache. Supported by Windows NT and Windows 2000, the AV 1400 is the industry's most configurable high-density rackmount server, designed with best-in-class scale-out capability for customers interested in deploying server farms for terminal servers, e-mail or web services. The compact 2U chassis enables customers to stack up to 16 servers in a single cabinet saving valuable facilities space in their data center. All AV 1400 configurations offer redundant hot-swap cooling fans and optional redundant hot-swap power supplies.
AV 8950 - Power ``In-A-Box''
As the industry's most powerful Windows-based SMP server, the AV 8950 brings new levels of scalability, performance and high-availability to consolidation solutions. The AV 8950 based on up to eight Pentium III Xeon processors at 700 MHz with 1 MB or 2 MB integrated L2 cache, is ideal for enterprise computing with business-critical applications. This server is packaged with Data General's pre-configured and pre-tested Data Protection Center for Backup and server replication solutions and Cluster-In-A-Box configurations, which feature DG/ManageSuite(TM) server management software and DG/RackManager(TM) for centralized control and systems management. The AV 8950 is an ideal platform for running large Windows NT and Windows 2000 database applications with SQL and Oracle software for consolidating many smaller Windows NT servers into a centralized location. With support for future Intel processors, customers can be confident that the AV 8950 will meet both current and planned computing needs.
