Blow Boy Dan - Re: "What's up with Intel and AMD ASPs on Pricewatch?" AMD's only sales seem to be from ScrewDriver guys on Pricewatch. How many AtHwipers is Dell buying ? How many AtHwipers is IBM buying ? How many AtHwipers is Gateway buying ? Why can't I find any Compaq AthWiper eXPloders at retail shops? Is AMD saving all the AthWiper eXPloders for the loyal Pricewatch shoppers?

Hey Dan - Another Intel Server Design win !!! newsalert.com November 05, 2001 13:08 Omnicluster Technologies Enhances Its Family Of Server Blade Products With The Slotserver 3000 BOCA RATON, FL -- (INTERNET WIRE) -- 05-11-2001 -- OmniCluster Technologies, Inc., a leader in the development of server blades, has announced that it has expanded its product line with the addition of the SlotServer 3000. The SlotServer 3000 will complement OmniCluster's SlotServer 1000, which has been on the market since April 2001. The SlotServer 3000, priced at $1,195.00 US MSRP, is the industry's first multipurpose, independent blade server Pentium III-based PCI card that interfaces with the host computer through the PCI bus. Unlike other Server Blades, the SlotServer is built on an industry standard PCI architecture and is compatible with virtually all operating environments -- including Windows 2000, Windows NT, RedHat Linux, FreeBSD. This enables users to run applications tuned for an operating system, regardless of the host server's operating system. For example, users can run a Linux-based firewall within a Windows-based host, on an isolated server. The SlotServer 3000 communicates with the system through three different interface modes: Shared storage, gigabit Ethernet, and bus-master DMA. It also comes with OmniCluster's Virtual Disk Manager (VDM), a user-friendly, GUI-based software management tool featuring drag-drop operating system image allocation and full SlotServer storage system management. VDM allows IT Managers to deploy, update, or change multiple SlotServer's operating systems in seconds, greatly improving staff effectiveness and time to market. The SlotServer 3000 fits into any host with a full-length PCI slot and can be added to standard new or existing PCI-based servers. This allows users to add server capacity to their current servers and without replacing the units or taking additional space within the rack, maximizing their original hardware investment. Primary features of the SlotServer 3000 include: * 700 MHz x86 Intel Pentium III processor * Expandable to up to 2 GB of RAM * Up to 4 SO-DIMM modules with ECC support optional * At least two Ethernet interfaces * Expandable functionality using PMC adapters * Fits into any host with a full-length PCI slot * 10/100 Mbps Ethernet interface, standard * Multiple 10/100 Ethernet ports available * Gigabit Ethernet on the PCI interface, standard * RAID / SCSI / SAN / NAS compatible * On-board high-speed IDE interface "The SlotServer 3000 is a new product line that addresses an expanded customer base as compared to our current server blade product, the SlotServer 1000," said Christopher Fleck, CEO of OmniCluster Technologies. "The 3000 is designed specifically for that customer that intends to run applications where more CPU power is required, such as database applications, SSL and distributed computing. The SlotServer 1000, on the other hand, serves the needs of users performing isolated functions such as firewalls and utility server systems, static web servers, and print or file servers." OmniCluster will unveil the SlotServer 3000 at the Comdex show in November, held in Las Vegas. The product will begin shipping in January 2002.
