Gateway's Next-Generation Servers Equipped to Meet Broad Range of Business and Institution Needs



Backed by New Intel Technology, High-Density Rack-Mount and Tower Servers Offer High Performance at Competitive Price Points

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 7 -- Refreshing its portfolio of full-featured server offerings for the professional sectors, Gateway today announced three new server products: the Gateway 9510 Series tower server, the Gateway 9315 Series 1U rack-mount server and the Gateway 9515 Series 2U rack-mount server. The new systems complement Gateway's growing line of back-office computing platforms, which spans from the entry-level Gateway 9210 all the way up to the Gateway 995 4U enterprise-class server.

These powerful, high-density solutions are designed to meet a broad spectrum of business, education and government organizations' workgroup and departmental computing needs. Each of the new server platforms features support for the Intel(R) E7520 or E7320 chipset and Intel(R) Xeon(TM) dual processing capability, providing next-generation performance and system responsiveness(1)(4). The new Intel processors are coupled with an 800 MHz system bus and Hyper Threading technology(4), helping businesses effectively handle spikes in workload. As a result, the systems can be utilized for basic file and print functions up to more demanding email and high-end database applications.

With PCI Express and DDR2 memory, the server lines boast robust graphics capabilities and increased I/O performance with reduced system latency. Enhancing manageability, the systems also feature hot swap drive bay options in the 9510 and 9315. Reliability features are also available, including ECC memory, dual redundant fans and dual redundant power supplies.

"Businesses need an easy-to-manage computing platform that will scale as they grow," said Tim Diefenthaler, senior director of server product marketing at Gateway. "Gateway's new servers offer availability features such as RAID 5 in a 1U chassis and hot swap redundant fans. Coupled with the latest Xeon processing power the systems scale from web servers up to demanding transactional database applications, ultimately delivering exceptional value to customers."

Because the systems are scalable, they provide great performance today while leaving plenty of headroom to address organizations' future needs. All of the servers include ample drive bays, room for additional memory and two-to-six PCI slots, including PCIe and PCI-X. Additionally, the servers support 64-bit extended memory technology (EM64T), so IT managers can utilize next-generation 64-bit applications without sacrificing compatibility with current 32-bit applications.
