Intel announces a broad range of server-related products

Intel Corporation has announced several new server "building block" products -- including boards, chassis, and other server components, which are designed for OEM system builders and product integrators.

At the heart of the announcement are seven server board and server chassis products for a wide range of computing environments. The Intel Server Board SCB2, Intel Server Chassis SR1200, and Intel Server Chassis SR2200 are optimized for high density, rack-mount server environments.

Server Board SCB2-based platforms can be integrated into OEM server product offerings to meet a variety of Internet applications, including clustered database, firewall, streaming media, and e-mail servers (see attached glossary for technical descriptions and usage detail). This new product line is built around the Intel Pentium III processor with 512-KB cache.

The Server Board SDS2 is targeted at small-to-medium-sized workgroup environments utilizing e-mail servers, proxy/caching servers, Web servers, and database servers. The Server Board SAI2 provides small businesses with a great price/performance solution for their file/print, intranet Web server, and terminal server computing needs.

The Intel Server Board S815BM1 is available now for a 1U (1.75" height) chassis configuration. This product provides value-conscious businesses with a solution to their Web hosting, firewall, and Domain Name Systems (DNS) requirements.

Additional server management, storage, and networking products announced today include the first IPMI 1.5 server management stack implementation via the Intel Server Management version 3.5, as well as the Intel RAID Controller SRCMR, Intel RAID Controller SRCU32, and the Intel PRO/1000 XT Server Adapter. These products are designed to improve I/O performance and data reliability in a variety of computing configurations.
