Gateway E-9722R Server Wins the Enterprise Hardware Category in the Annual
Government Computer News (GCN) Best of FOSE Awards Program
IRVINE, Calif., March 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gateway, Inc. today
announced that its new E-9722R server won the Best of FOSE 2007 Award for
the Enterprise Hardware category.
Held in Washington DC this week, FOSE is the government's largest
gathering of information technology professionals. More than 100 high
technology companies submitted new products in the annual GCN Best of FOSE
Awards program, with only 16 companies receiving the distinguished award
across a wide range of technology categories.
"We're thrilled to be honored with a Best of FOSE Award for our new 3U
rack server," said Tim Diefenthaler, Gateway senior director, professional
product management. "Leveraging four dual-core processors, memory expansion
and twelve hard drives, our E-9722R is ideal for virtualization, which more
and more government customers are using to consolidate their resources.
Together with our number one customer satisfaction rankings from Technology
Business Research for corporate desktops and notebooks, this award confirms
that we're delivering the innovative products and outstanding service
customers want."
The Gateway(R) E-9722R Server is powered by up to four dual-core AMD
Opteron 8000 Series processors and the NVIDIA MCP55 Pro chipset. The
E-9722R can also be outfitted with optional AMD Opteron HE processors,
which are designed for higher power efficiency and lower electricity costs.
The AMD Opteron processor provides next-generation features, including
hardware-assisted AMD Virtualization(TM) and energy-efficient DDR2 memory.
They're also designed for seamless upgradeability to quad-core computing.
Therefore the E-9722R server is ideal as a virtual server to consolidate
multiple server activities, or for high-performance database (Oracle and
Microsoft SQL) and ERP-level business applications.
This new rack-mount server brings exceptional I/O performance and
expansion with four NICs and five PCI slots. It also provides optimum
expansion with room for twelve 3.5 inch, hot-swap SAS or SATA II hard
drives. Utilizing 750GB SATA hard disk drives, the E-9722R supports up to
9TB. With support for dual array configurations and integrated RAID storage
subsystems, the E-9722R has the highest storage/rack height ratio that
Gateway has ever offered.
Tool-free chassis', tool-free motherboards and color-coded components
streamline deployment and support. In addition, it shares components
including RAID daughter cards, drive carriers and system management.
Bringing a high level of efficiency to IT departments, Gateway Lights
Out (GLO) system management allows customers to remotely shut down and
re-start their server regardless of power condition. An optional low-cost
remote control K/V/M with media redirect features enables IT managers to
take full remote control of a server.
Customers can also use Gateway's System Management Integrated LCD
(SMIL) to monitor a server's health and operating status. This powerful
optional add-on simply hot plugs to the front of the server and displays
vital statistics on a full-color, easy-to-read LCD panel.
The server can be configured with both SAS and SATA II drives in the
same system, so customers can choose the technology best suited to their
needs. Integrated RAID offers a cost-effective solution while saving a
valuable expansion slot. Support for RAID 5 + Hot Spare and RAID 10 options
offer greater redundancy and integrity.
Lastly, it delivers high availability with redundant, hot-swap fans and
power supply options. Hot swappable fans, not available on many competitive
systems, provide exceptional cooling capability as well as greater
availability in case of fan failure. The new highly efficient, redundant
power supplies require less energy to run and produce less heat output,
helping to extend component life.
