"Gateway is offering a best-in-class entry-level server with unprecedented high availability features and system customization generally only found in higher-level or much more expensive systems," said Tim Diefenthaler, senior director of server product marketing, Gateway. "With the E-9220T, we are addressing our customers' requirements for a cost-effective yet powerful solution by delivering an exceptionally rich feature set at a very attractive price point."

The flexibility and performance of the server makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of environments, including file and print sharing with the scalability and performance to be a powerful application server. Also with its high availability features the E-9220T is an ideal remote or branch office server.

Scalable and Expandable for Long-Life

The BTX tower chassis supports a wide range of 64-bit compatible processors including Intel(R) Celeron(R), Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 and the dual core enabled Intel(R) Pentium(R) D and Intel(R) Pentium(R) Extreme Edition.
