Servers to be built at new U.S. Configuration Center. New line minimizes
downtime and reduces IT expenses; a host of new features improve
productivity, usability, reliability and serviceability.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gateway today
announced three new Intel(R) Xeon(R)-powered servers, which will be built
at the new U.S.-based Gateway Configuration Center (GCC). Gateway's
configure-to-order facility gives the company leading manufacturing and
distribution capabilities, so it can better meet the needs of its
professional customers. The server line-up includes a dual-socket 1U
server, 2U rack-mount server and a high-performance tower. The new servers
are being demonstrated and shown today at the Intel Developer Forum, booth
#520 in the Digital Enterprise Zone, at the Moscone Center in San
Francisco.
The servers include a host of new features and technologies: a new
industrial design, enhanced serviceability features, integrated RAID and
Gateway Lights Out (GLO) system management with optional K/V/M (keyboard,
video, mouse). In addition, customers can incorporate both SAS and SATA II
hard drives in the same system, mixing high-performance and value drives
for maximum flexibility.
The new servers are designed to support general purpose infrastructure
computing applications. They are ideal as Web servers, for handling office
and department databases, line of business applications and infrastructure
virtualization. Perfect for small- and medium-sized businesses, they work
well as file and print servers, or for running critical office functions
and the entire back-office.
"Our re-designed server line delivers an incredible overall package to
professional customers -- innovative, feature-rich products that are highly
serviceable," said Jim Burdick, Gateway senior vice president,
professional. "Built in the U.S. and with telephone support provided by
North American-based agents, Gateway is well positioned to deliver stellar
product and support quality."
"Intel's new dual-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processor 5100 series is
designed for the high-volume server market segment. These processors are
based on the revolutionary new Intel(R) Core(TM) Microarchitecture, which
offers undeniable leadership in server performance, energy efficiency and
value," said Kirk Skaugen, vice president, Digital Enterprise Group, Intel
Corporation.
Enhanced Serviceability and New Design Streamlines Deployment and
Support
New serviceability features make it easier than ever to support and
deploy Gateway servers. All models include tool-less chassis', tool-less
motherboards and color-coded components. In addition, all models share
components including RAID daughter cards, drive carriers and system
management.
Boasting an exclusive design with sleek silver and black trim and blue
LED platform status indicators, IT managers and CIOs will be proud to
showcase Gateway servers within their data centers. The new front bezel
optimizes airflow and improves cooling, helping extend component lifecycle
and enhancing reliability. The design displays power and performance, while
delivering the best user accessibility and serviceability Gateway has ever
offered in their server line.
Leading Integrated Server Management and K/V/M Technology Brings a High
Level of Efficiency to IT Departments
New to the entire line of servers is a common integrated Gateway Lights
Out (GLO) system management feature. With GLO, customers can remotely shut
down and re-start their server regardless of its power condition. Through a
Web-browser, IT managers can reboot a server in seconds. With a Web-based
dashboard view that is easy to navigate, IT managers can easily control the
new servers from a remote location.
An optional low-cost remote control K/V/M with media redirect features
enables IT managers to take full remote control of a server. With media
redirect, they can remotely set up, manage or add applications to a remote
server from their desktop, notebook or another server.
In the fourth quarter, Gateway will offer an optional System Management
Integrated LCD (SMIL), a powerful add-on that hot plugs to the front of the
server, providing health and operating status on a full-color, easy-to-read
LCD panel.
Top-of-the-Line Technologies Include SAS and SATA II Hard Drives,
Integrated RAID and Redundant Hot Swap Fans and Power Supplies
All of Gateway's new servers can be configured with both SAS and SATA
II drives, giving customers the flexibility to choose the technology best
suited to their needs. Customers can use both types of drives in one
system, allowing them to install operating systems and other mission
critical applications on mirrored, highly reliable SAS drives, while
storing file data on SATA II drives for the best value.
Integrated RAID options, featured on all new models, 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, all of the new systems deliver high availability with
redundant, hot-swap fans and power supply options. Hot swappable fans, new
to Gateway 1U servers and 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.
Gateway E-9520T Performance Tower
The Gateway(R) E-9520T Performance Tower Server delivers the highest
level of performance and reliability with advanced remote system management
capabilities. Expandable and versatile, it is an ideal choice as an
application or general use workhorse server in companies of all sizes.
Up to two Dual-Core Intel(R) Xeon 5100 processors combined with the
latest Intel 5000P chipset and fully buffered DIMM memory (FB DIMM) deliver
outstanding performance. With six expansion slots and room for up to
7.5TB(1)/10 drives of internal storage, the E-9520T is highly customizable.
Gateway Rack Servers
Today's announcement from Gateway includes a new 1U and 2U rack server,
both designed to offer high expansion and flexibility in space-saving
rack-mountable platforms.
Gateway(R) E-9425R
The E-9425R is Gateway's most advanced and serviceable 1U
rack-optimized server platform featuring the latest Dual-Core Intel Xeon
processors and 5000P chipset. It provides excellent performance per watt in
a mid-range server platform. The new server is highly expansive with up to
six 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS or SATA II hard drives. Utilizing SATA II drives,
it has a storage capacity of up to 3.0TBs. Combined with the new
manageability features and technologies, it is the most flexible 1U server
Gateway has ever offered.
The E-9425R supports FB DIMM providing increased throughput, higher
capacity and improved reliability. With room for 32GB of memory, the
E-9425R is ideally suited to handle high-performance database and
virtualization applications.
Gateway(R) E-9525R
The Gateway E-9525R Server is an expandable and flexible 2U
rack-optimized server platform supporting up to two of the latest Dual-Core
Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processors utilizing Intel's latest DP chipset, the
5000P.
It also provides exceptional performance and scalability in a mid-range
server platform. With up to six hot-swap SAS or SATA II hard drives,
excellent I/O performance with two NICs, five PCI slots and new
manageability features and technologies, it is the most flexible 2U server
Gateway has ever offered. Utilizing SATA II drives, it has a storage
capacity of up to 4.5TBs. Like the E-9425R 1U server, the E-9425R also
supports FB DIMM, expandable to 32GB.
Pricing and Availability
Gateway is taking orders now; prices start at $1,849 for the E-9425R 1U
Server, $1,899 for the E-9525R 2U Server and $2,199 for the E-9520T
