Gateway today introduced two back office products combining leading-edge performance with low price points meeting market demands for increased server availability and connectivity. The Gateway 9415 Server is the first to offer RAID 5 capabilities with redundant power in 1U rack-mount formation at an industry- low entry price point of $1,199. The Gateway 840 Serial ATA SAN brings Fibre Channel connectivity and scales up to 4.8TB(1) in a 2U chassis beginning at $4,449.
The new Gateway products are designed with broad appeal for organizations requiring highly-reliable, scaleable solutions designed to grow with them.
“As data centers continue to run mission critical applications the demand for highly available, performance oriented and reliable servers have become a necessity,” said Tim Diefenthaler, senior director of server product marketing at Gateway. “The Gateway 9415 Server is the first server in the category to specifically address these challenges with a cost effective solution offering RAID 5 capabilities, redundant power and support for Intel’s latest Xeon EM64T processors in a 1U rack-mount design.”
Gateway 9415 Series Server
Gateway’s latest 9415 server is a powerful performance-oriented computing platform offering high availability coupled with high capacity in a 1U rack-mount form factor. Designed for data intensive tasks, the unit is ideal for applications such as a database or Web server and can scale to ERP and CRM applications. The 9415 supports the latest 64-bit Intel® Xeon™ processors with an 800MHz front-side bus and the availability of 1MB or 2MB L2 cache. Additionally the 9415 offers three hot-swap SCSI drive bays enabling RAID 5 functionality, combined with a slim-line optical drive and up to 900GB(1) of storage, which is unprecedented among servers in its class. The 9415 also uses PCI Express and DDR2 memory to offer increased I/O performance.
For increased reliability and decreased downtime, the 9415 server is available with optional dual-redundant, hot-swap power supplies and hard drives.
The 9415 also provides complete operating system flexibility supporting Microsoft’s full suite of operating systems, as well as certification for Novell’s Netware 6.5, Red Hat Linux Enterprise 3.0 and 3.0 EM64T, and SuSe Linux Enterprise 9.0 and 9.0 EM64T. The server comes complete with the Gateway System Manager (GSM). The GSM is a real-time monitoring tool that gives IT managers peace-of-mind with its ongoing systems checks that catch and alleviate any problems, thereby decreasing network interruptions. The Gateway 9415 Series undercuts competitive products coming complete with a server rack and priced starting at only $1,199.
