The E-4610 Includes the New Intel Q965 Chipset and Core 2 Duo Processor,
vPro With Active Management Technology and TPM 1.2
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gateway, Inc. today
introduced the Gateway(R) E-4610 professional desktop, which brings
enhanced performance, manageability and security to Gateway's education,
government and business customers. The powerful new desktop is designed to
meet the stringent manageability requirements of advanced enterprise-level
IT departments and the increasing performance needs of growing small- and
medium-sized businesses.
The Intel(R) vPro(TM) compliant E-4610 includes the new Intel Q965
chipset with support for integrated RAID and the new Intel Core(TM) 2 Duo
processor; Active Management Technology (AMT); and the industry's latest
hardware security standard, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2. It also
offers dual monitor support through integrated DVI and VGA ports.
"We've taken performance and manageability to the next level by
combining the latest Intel technologies with advancements in Gateway's
remote system administration," said Marc Demars, Gateway's senior director
of professional desktops and displays. "Housing these new capabilities in
our highly-reliable dual-fan BTX chassis makes it the perfect platform to
run the latest operating system and applications that require the muscle of
an advanced chipset, processor and other support tools."
"Intel(R) vPro(TM) technology is a hardware and software platform built
to change what businesses can expect from their PCs," said Robert Crooke,
vice president and general manager of Intel's Business Client Group. "The
combination of Intel vPro technology and Gateway's E-4610 PC provides large
and small businesses with dramatic energy-efficient operation, built-in
manageability and proactive security, which means exceptional computing
performance, security and cost efficiency."
Leading Performance Delivered with Advanced Technologies
As Gateway's performance professional desktop, the E-4610 is
configurable with a number of powerful technologies and options. The most
significant enhancement is the new Intel Q965 chipset, which supports
integrated RAID and the new Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Combined with fast
667MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory and dual monitor support, these components
considerably increase the power and system configurability over the
system's predecessor, the E-4500.
The new Intel Core 2 Duo processor delivers a 40 percent increase in
performance over previous desktop processors(1). This is achieved through
improvements in CPU instruction execution, which now performs four
executions per clock cycle vs. three and maximizes main memory-to-processor
bandwidth and reduces latency.
The E-4610 delivers enhanced video and dual display capabilities.
Offering both integrated DVI and VGA ports, professionals can easily
connect their monitor to the DVI port for superior video clarity; those
using two monitors for more efficient work will find the built-in dual
capability extremely convenient. With this functionality, uses can view
presentation notes on one monitor and the actual slide show on another or
see an enlarged version of a single application or image spread across two
monitors. In addition, all Gateway LCD monitors come with both DVI- and
VGA-in ports, for ease-of-use with Gateway desktops.
Gateway Systems Management Software and AMT Deliver Enhanced
Manageability
Leading manageability features on the Gateway E-4610 help busy IT
departments reduce IT costs by decreasing end-user downtime through
advanced administration tools. Working with Gateway's Client and System
Manager, Intel's AMT(2) enables remote system tracking, repair and updates,
even when systems are powered off or unable to boot.
TPM 1.2 and GatewayShield Provide Enhanced Security, Significantly
Reducing Risks
In addition, the Gateway E-4610 also supports Trusted Platform Module
(TPM) 1.2, the industry's latest hardware security standard. TPM provides
enhanced protection against data theft by encrypting files, authenticating
network access and passwords, and safeguarding email communications and
file transfers. Ideal for IT-managed environments, PCs with TPM better
protect critical applications and capabilities, such as email, web access
and local protection of data.
Customers can also configure the E-4610 with GatewayShield(3) for an
added layer of protection. This comprehensive security solution includes
Internet, data and hardware protection through Symantec(TM) Client Security
software, BIOS-embedded Computrace(R) Complete and Kensington cables and
locks. GatewayShield can be purchased as a complete package or in separate
modules.
Scalable BTX Design Provides Advanced Cooling and High Reliability
Helping businesses meet the computing demands of their growing
business, the E-4610 is Windows Vista(TM) capable, and features flexible
scalability, offering a choice of three and six bay BTX chassis options,
and the ability to configure systems from mainstream to performance.
To keep the high-performance system running smoothly, the E-4610 is
built on a BTX design that more efficiently cools internal components,
delivering exceptional reliability and longer system life(4). Cooled with
two large and quiet fans that provide improved airflow over traditional
PCs, the E-4610 will remain cool even when handling power-hungry
technology. The innovative, tool-free BTX design also makes it fast and
easy to access components without removing the front bezel or replacing
optical drive retention screws. Highly scalable, the Gateway E-4610 can be
configured as an expandable six-bay mini-tower or space-saving three-bay
desktop.
North American Based Telephone Support Provides Superior Quality
While many PC vendors go off-shore to save service costs, Gateway's
technical telephone support for U.S. customers is 100-percent based in
North America. Customers are assured their calls are handled by
knowledgeable, experienced, well-trained and dedicated support agents close
to home.
This commitment to superior service and support quality is rooted in
the company's newly established Best Practices Center (BPC), based in North
Sioux City, SD. The BPC enables Gateway to better serve its customers by
bringing together analytics, tools, technology and people to create service
and support-related "best practices" that reinforce the company's
long-standing commitment to continuous improvement on customer
satisfaction. By handling front-line calls, Gateway can build better
diagnostic tools and develop quality solutions that will cascade throughout
the service organization and in the field with Gateway's partners.
