Gateway and Harvard Life Sciences Form Symbiotic Relationship
Gateway's Dense Servers, Slim Profile PCs Assist in Academics and

Sciences researchers at Harvard aren't letting small workspaces get
in the way of big discoveries. (Logo:

university recently purchased ultra-dense technology from Gateway,
Inc. to help its Life Science researchers conduct diverse projects
in areas ranging from biochemistry to molecular evolution -- all
while saving valuable office space. In fact, hundreds of faculty,
graduate students and staff in Life Sciences at Harvard now rely on
high-density Gateway rackmount servers and all-in-one Gateway(R)
Profile(R) PCs to aid in their efforts to bring significant
advancements to the scientific community. Scientists in molecular
and cellular biology found that Gateway 955 servers and Gateway
Profile PCs best accommodated their demanding research requirements
and space limitations of the historic campus. Nationwide, many
college and university laboratories face similar constraints and
are also turning to small-form-factor or ultra-dense technologies
to free up space resources. "Gateway's customized, high-performance
solutions are ideal for supporting the intense nature of research
taking place in Life Sciences," said James Reaney, network and
server operations manager for the Life Sciences group. "Our
projects are wide ranging, from biophysics to genetic research to
bioinformatics, and they require a great deal of computing power.
Not only did we need desktops and notebooks with large monitors for
viewing and reporting graphical data, but we also needed fast,
reliable servers -- and everything had to occupy as little space as
possible." Looking for maximum performance and reliability at a
reasonable cost, Life Sciences researchers turned to Gateway to
outfit their server room. After a lengthy evaluation, the labs
purchased more than 50 Gateway 955 rackmount servers with Intel(R)
Xeon(R) processors -- an ideal platform for computationally
intensive but space-constrained server environments. Gateway 955
servers are slim, dual-processor systems that support up to three
hot-swap SCSI hard drives, two PCI-X expansion slots, and up to 12
GB of PC2100 ECC DDR memory. The researchers also utilize dozens of
Gateway's sleek, all-in-one Profile PCs to save space on desktops.
Gateway's Profile 5 series provide the overall performance of a
full-size PC in an efficient, all-in-one small footprint design
that fits the scientists' space requirements. An added benefit of
the Profile is its built-in handle, which allows it to be moved
easily between locations to accommodate varying resource demands.
While Life Sciences at Harvard selected Gateway hardware due to its
innovation and space-saving design, the group also put equal
emphasis on warranty, service and support. Gateway offers a unique
90-day, money-back guarantee(1), and the company offers a
comprehensive array of services designed to meet the needs of
educational institutions, including two- and four-hour, on-site
response(2). Gateway also offers 24x7 phone support through a
dedicated team of industry-certified technicians. "Gateway put in
place a standard of service that is unmatched by competing
vendors," says Reaney. "With very little notice -- and even in
cases of low volume orders -- I can reach out to my Gateway
representative and place orders without the hassle of renegotiating
price. I also know that the technology Gateway delivers will be top
notch and customized to our specific requirements." Gateway is a
leading branded integrator of technology solutions. From high-end
servers to market-leading plasma displaysto comprehensive services,
Gateway delivers whole-office technology solutions, coupled with
high-touch service. Serving educational institutions for more than
15 years, Gateway uses its multi-channel approach to make the
