Performance
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Gateway, Inc. (NYSE: GTW) today introduced the Gateway(R) 910 Series entry-level server for growing small businesses and home offices that need reliability and solid server performance. With a starting price point comparable to a desktop computer -- just $699(3) -- the 910 Series will enable more small businesses to purchase a server for file and printer sharing, Internet access and email.
"Many small businesses are looking to move to a network architecture for the first time, and they need both comprehensive services and reliable hardware to make it happen -- that's why they turn to Gateway," said Jim Jones, vice president of segment marketing, Gateway, Inc. "As the leading provider of personalized technology solutions in local communities, Gateway is well poised to help our small business customers enhance office efficiency and collaboration with our new server offering. The combination of performance, low price point, and exceptional support available when and where they need it makes the Gateway 910 Series the server of choice for any small business."
Gateway will support its 910 Series customers on several levels -- through its nearly 300 Country(R) stores located across the U.S., online at Gateway.com and through its nationwide network of service providers. At Gateway Country stores, small businesses can receive consultative services, training and technology and application demonstrations. Free on-site consultation, installation and integration services further assist companies with limited IT resources.
Small businesses without in-house IT support will further appreciate the user-friendly design of the Gateway 910 Series server. The mini-tower can be opened via its tool-less entry for quick and easy servicing, resulting in reduced system downtime and increased productivity. Once inside the system, changes and upgrades are a snap with color-coded tabs that direct users to easily accessible components. And drives are securely mounted without the use of any screws, allowing quick upgrades.
The Gateway 910 Series incorporates reliability and performance attributes typically found on high-level servers. The base configuration of the fully configurable Gateway 910C model is priced at $699(3) and includes:
-- A single Intel(R) 1GHz Celeron(R) processor with 128KB L2 cache. The
processor is supported by ServerWorks' Champion LC-T server chipset,
which further improves performance and network productivity
-- 128MB PC 133 Error Correction Code SDRAM
-- 20GB ATA IDE hard disk drive
-- Integrated motherboard for improved performance and system access --
including 10/100 Ethernet and PCI Graphics
-- Five PCI expansion slots and seven drive bays
-- 64-bit PCI I/O technology for optimal system performance
The Gateway 910L2 model, priced at $1,499(3), is an example of how the 910 Series can be well configured to meet a range of small business needs in environments. The Gateway 910L2 model includes:
-- A single Intel 1GHz Celeron processor with 128KB L2 cache
-- A total of 256MB of PC 133 ECC SDRAM
-- 40GB ATA IDE hard disk drive
-- Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with five client access licenses
-- Integrated motherboard with 10/100 Ethernet and PCI Graphics
-- Five PCI expansion slots and seven drive bays
-- 64-bit PCI I/O technology
The 910 Series servers offer manageability features that make it easy to use and maintain. The system's HP(R) OpenView(TM) ManageX Event software proactively monitors key system operations such as voltages, temperatures, fan speeds and ECC memory to ensure security and reliability. The software also helps ensure maximum uptime by alerting users to potential problems and allowing them to plan for preventative maintenance accordingly.
Today Gateway also introduced the Gateway 935 Series, a 1U-height rackmount server line, which gives customers fast, reliable performance, backed by Intel's 1.13 and 1.26GHz Pentium(R) III processors with 512KB high speed L2 cache. The system's slim 1.75-inch high space-saving design is ideal for small and medium businesses that have increasing server requirements, but limited physical space. Unlike many competitive systems, the Gateway 935 Series supports up to three hot-swappable hard disk drives, another must for growing and evolving businesses, such as Internet hosting sites. It is available at a starting price of $1,799(3).
The Gateway 910 Series server is backed by a one-year parts and labor, and on-site limited warranty(4). The 935 Series is backed by a three-year parts and labor, and on-site limited warranty(4).
