New Gateway(R) 9415 1U Server Meshes RAID 5 Capability with Redundant Power
for $1,199 and the Gateway(R) 840 SAN Introduces Modular Host Connectivity for
$4,449
IRVINE, Calif., April 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gateway (NYSE: GTW)
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(R) Xeon(TM)
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.
