Gateway's New Ultra-Thin 1U Rackmount Server Maximizes Space for Growing Organizations
SAN DIEGO, March 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Gateway Inc. (NYSE: GTW - news) today announced the 7450R, the company's new powerful 1U rackmount server that enables growing businesses, education and government institutions to maximize space without sacrificing features or performance. The system's 1.75-inch high space-saving design is ideal for small and medium businesses as well as Internet-based companies such as ISPs and ASPs who have growing server requirements, but limited physical space.
``The combination of a full-featured server in an ultra-dense design makes the 7450R an ideal solution for our growing clients,'' said Chris Norman, director of server product marketing, Gateway. ``The thin 1U form factor allows for easy deployment in any multi-server environment, optimizing limited computing space and maximizing performance.''
Performance and Design Combine for a Powerful Solution
The 7450R maximizes space without sacrificing performance. With support for two of the latest Intel® processors, 4GB of RAM and expansion that includes three hot-plug SCSI drives, optional RAID configurations and two full-length 64-bit PCI slots, the 7450R delivers a powerful solution. A robust cooling system consisting of dual high-powered blowers keeps the system running at optimal thermal temperatures.
Gateway's Server Management solution coupled with HP® OpenView(TM) ManageX Event Manager provides monitoring of critical system components to ensure uninterrupted maximum performance and reliability. And the tool-free chassis makes servicing and monitoring the 7450R convenient for maximum uptime.
The combination of performance and reliability makes the 7450R ideal for handling process intensive applications such as web hosting and e-commerce, as well as routine dedicated server applications such as database, file and print services.
To complement the 7450R, Gateway also offers a full line of rackmount enclosures and accessories including a 42U cabinet allowing 42 servers to be deployed in a single rack.
