Gateway Enhances Server Line With an Entry-Level Tower Powered by AMD, Redefining Value and Performance
March 15 2007 - 6:00AM
PR Newswire (US)
IRVINE, Calif., March 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Redefining the
feature set of a value server, the Gateway(R) E-9232T gives
customers a choice of powerful AMD processors and several advanced
technologies not typically available in an entry-level server.
Powered by either a dual-core AMD Opteron(TM) 1000 Series processor
or a single-core AMD Athlon(TM) 64 processor 3500+, the E-9232T
also includes Gateway Lights Out (GLO) system management, optional
remote keyboard/video/mouse (K/V/M) technology, integrated RAID
support and optional hot-swappable redundant power supplies. Its
low price point and compelling technologies make it an affordable,
yet powerful server that can help small- and medium-sized
businesses run efficiently and securely. Recent IDC research (LANs
and Servers in US SMBs(1)) noted that many small and medium-sized
organizations are still using traditional desktops, despite the
growing popularity of local networks. "Even with the appeal of the
latest network technology, the lack of full-time IT staff can make
it hard for smaller companies to step up to the investment," said
Ray Boggs, vice president for SMB research IDC. "The availability
and affordability of new servers like the E-9232T can provide a
powerful alternative to desktop approaches, letting smaller firms
gain access to network capabilities for the first time."
Additionally, small- and medium-sized businesses running Microsoft
Small Business Server (SBS) will find it an ideal platform to run
all their office tasks. It has the power and features necessary to
easily handle Internet, networking and productivity applications
such as email, file and print sharing and financial or database
programs. "Server technology is not just for large companies with
big budgets and dedicated IT staff," said Steven VanRoekel,
director of the Windows Server Solutions group at Microsoft. "With
Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 on the new Gateway E-9232T,
customers will be able to cost-effectively boost their productivity
and better ensure system security." Failing technology can be
disastrous for small businesses which operate in a retail
environment. NetSolace, an independent software vendor specializing
in point-of-sale solutions for a vast majority of the nation's
franchises, exclusively uses Gateway tower servers for their
customers' installations. NetSolace uses Gateway business class
servers instead of high-end desktops due to their high-reliability
and affordability. Combined with Gateway's four-hour on-site
support(2), NetSolace is assured their customers' operations are
running at peak efficiency, cost-effectively, and that their data
is well protected. Powerful Technologies Redefine Value and Raise
the Bar for Others Powered by either an AMD Opteron dual-core or
Athlon single-core processor, the Gateway E-9232T brings true
server performance and advanced capabilities to the value category.
"Our relationship with AMD has allowed us to develop another
compelling server with leading technologies," said Marc Tanguay,
Gateway senior group manager, servers and storage. "With excellent
performance and advanced system management, the E-9232T offers
benefits typically not found in an entry-level system." 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 will
also find leading serviceability features such as color-coded
components and a tool-less chassis and motherboard, making the
product easy to support and deploy. Nicely equipped but with room
to grow, the server features dual integrated 10/100/1000 GbE NICs
and video; five PCI slots; and DDR2 unbuffered ECC memory with four
sockets, providing memory capacity of up to 8GB. Highly expansive
with room for four 3.5-inch hard disk drives, it has a storage
capacity of up to 3.0TB with SATA II drives(3). Integrated SATA
RAID 1, 5 and 10 offers greater redundancy and integrity.
"Providing the widest variety of computing options to
infrastructure providers and end customers, Gateway has leveraged
the performance and value benefits of the AMD Opteron and AMD
Athlon 64 processors to help small and medium sized businesses run
applications more efficiently while helping provide enterprise
developers with low-cost, dedicated systems," said Pat Patla,
director, Server/Workstation Division, AMD. "By making the choice
to expand its AMD offerings to include rack-mount and now tower
servers, we believe Gateway has enhanced its server line in the
right direction." Pricing and Availability Shipping and available
immediately, the new servers are being built at Gateway's
U.S.-based configure-to-order facility in Nashville. Prices start
at just $699 for the AMD Athlon 64 processor-based system and $999
for the server powered by AMD Opteron processors. For more
