Apple has put Intel Xeon steroids inside the latest iteration of its Xserve, promising the server to be up to twice as fast as the previous model.”With the latest Intel processors and no client access licenses, Xserve offers unbeatable server performance and value for under $3,000,” said Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide product marketing. “Xserve’s power, storage and Leopard Server make it ideal for supporting Mac clients and mixed platform workgroups.”
Xserve now includes built-in accelerated graphics to drive up to a 23-inch Apple Cinema Display and a new front-facing USB 2.0 port. Using Apple’s Server Monitor, an administrator can remotely turn Xserve on or off and manage server software from anywhere on the network.
The new Xserve improves energy efficiency with Intel’s 45 nanometer core microarchitecture technology. These processors draw a maximum consumption of 80W, and drop as low as 4W when idle. Power supplies exceed Energy Star recommendations from the US Department of Energy and Apple’s thermal management technology cools the systems efficiently in a wide variety of environments while reducing power consumption.
Numerous build-to-order options and accessories are available, including: dual 2.8 or 3.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors; 80GB and 1TB 7200rpm SATA or 73GB or 300GB 15,000rpm SAS Apple Drive Modules; internal Xserve RAID card; Gigabit Ethernet, 4Gb Fibre Channel and U320 SCSI expansion card options, and a 750W redundant power supply.
