"RackSaver Introduces World's First Rack-Optimized Server Built around the New Intel--R-- Xeon--R-- Processor Another First in Density and Performance " They are probably looking for higher class customers !biz.yahoo.com Tuesday March 19, 8:10 am Eastern Time Press Release SOURCE: RackSaverRackSaver Introduces World's First Rack-Optimized Server Built around the New Intel--R-- Xeon--R-- Processor Another First in Density and Performance SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 19, 2002--Chalk up another first in super computing, courtesy of RackSaver. The company is the first to build a 1U rack-optimized dual server around Intel's® 0.13 micron Xeon® processor, code named Prestonia®. RackSaver's 1U 19`` rack-optimized Dual Xeon® Server is ready to answer the call from the super computing cluster market. The new Intel® Xeon® processor, is Intel's® next-generation server chip based on the Intel® Netburst(TM) microarchitecture. Among the critical differences that set the new Xeon® processor apart is Intel's® Hyper-Threading technology, which allows an operating system to view a single physical processor as if it were two logical processors, significantly increasing server response time, transactions and workload performance. RackSaver has taken the added step of putting the Intel® Xeon® processor, code named Prestonia®, into a dual-processor server, which packs even greater power. Other important features: Initial speed of 1.8GHz, 2.0GHz and 2.2GHz 512KB of level 2 cache Dual-processor configuration increase amount of memory that can be addressed. Faster response times, support for more users, enhanced scalability. Built on RackSaver's RS-1134 chassis, the Intel®-based Dual Xeon® Server, code named Prestonia®, is the first on the market today in a 1U 19`` rack-optimized chassis. The 19-inch rack-mounted high-density server along with Intel's® new E7500 chipset, code named Plumas®, utilizes a technology called memory interleaving to reduce the overall access time between the processor and memory. The RS-1134 also supports DDR memory and can house up to four hard drives, along with CD-ROM and floppy options. The RS-1134's density allows for up to 88 of the 2.2GHz+ Xeon® processors to be stacked in a standard seven-foot cabinet. Each unit employs RackSaver's proprietary-super-efficient cooling subsystem that offers extreme efficiency and reliability. The RS-1134 is an ideal supercomputing cluster node. Clustering groups of these Dual Xeon® servers together each with its own individual processors, memory, hard disk, and connectivity, can be made to appear as one large, very fast, server. These clusters are parallel systems that break down application processing into separate simultaneous operations. With these clustered server installations a system can be scaled up by simply adding more servers. The RS-1134 has a 32MB 4X AGP video card, 10/100 Intel fast-ethernet connection, a 64Bit/66MHz expansion slot that is ready for high-speed interconnects such as GigE, Dolphin SCI, or Myricom Myrinet.
