6 Hot-Swappable, Redundant RAID5 Drives, Hot Swappable Redundant Power Supplies And Data Redundant Software In New Scalable E-Server From BSI.Business Editors and High-Tech Writers CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 2002 Broadax broad·ax also broad·axe n. An ax with a wide flat head and a short handle; a battle-ax. Noun 1. broadax - a large ax with a broad cutting blade broadaxe Systems Inc. today introduced their latest high performance e-server, the RMS-6260. This new powerful mid-range server series combines six hot-swappable RAID5 compatible drives and dual redundant, hot-swappable power supplies with the reliable operation of dual Intel(R) Pentium(R) III 1.4 GHz Tualatin processors, 4GB SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. memory, dual ATA-100 IDE channels, dual fast Ethernet An earlier name for 100Mbps Ethernet. See 100Base-T. (networking) Fast Ethernet - A version of Ethernet developed in the 1990s(?) which can carry 100 Mbps compared with standard Ethernet's 10 Mbps. It requires upgraded network cards and hubs. LANs, five 64-bit/33MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. full-size PCI cards. The system supports a variety of operating systems and is optimized for both local and remote monitoring and restart making the RMS-6260 ideal for the most demanding server applications including online banking, e-trading, e-business, LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. and WAN servers and other extreme applications where downtime is not acceptable. The RMS-6260 provides a flexible, scalable and cost-effective option for high fault tolerant/resilient servers. Its high processing power is derived from dual Pentium(R) III Tualatin processors running at 1.4 GHz and backed by up to 4GB SDRAM. Dual ATA-100 IDE channels and a Promise Fast Track100 hardware RAID card support up to 6 hot-swap drives for redundant storage of critical data. The e-server uses 3.5-in. RAID Level 5 drives, which means data is striped across three or more drives for greater data retrieval and writing speed to complement the CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. and then by parity bits stored on another separate drive providing data security and fault tolerance. If a drive fails, simply remove the failed hot-swappable drive with a new one and the RAID controller automatically reconstructs the data. Two hot-swap 300W power supplies complete the fail-safe design, making the RMS-6260 a five-nines (99.999%) uptime performer. This high performance hardware is supported by an abundance of operating systems (OS) including Windows(R) 2000/XP/NT 4.0, Netware(R) 4.x/5.x/6.x, Redhat Linux(R) 7.0/7.1 with HP(R) OpenView(R), CA TNG TNG Training TNG The Next Generation TNG Tongue TNG The Newspaper Guild (Union) TNG Transitional National Government TNG Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (national facility of the Italian astronomical community) Framework(R), and Intel(R) LDCM LDCM Landsat Data Continuity Mission LDCM LAN Desk Client Manager (R). Broadax's own Server Management software makes standardization and easy server management significantly more simple and less time consuming even when deploying multiple systems on remote sites. This software automatically identifies potential critical server problems such as internal temperatures, power voltages, and component health status allowing for preventative maintenance prior to system failure. The 2U high rack mountable servers are also designed for easy maintenance. All drives and power supplies are accessible from behind a lockable front panel. Status LEDs on the center of each front panel make it easy to isolate a failed server in a rack with multiple configurations. The LEDs tell the status of each unit and conveniently informs when problems arise from hard disks, fans, over-heating, or system power failure. The LEDs make it easy to detect individual failures to decrease trouble-shooting time and increase uptime. Plug-n-play based, the RMS-6260 is scalable with dual 10/100 Ethernet ports and is expandable with five full-size 64-bit/33MHz PCI bus slots. Two serial ports, one parallel port, two USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. , CD-ROM CD-ROM: see compact disc. CD-ROM in full compact disc read-only memory Type of computer storage medium that is read optically (e.g., by a laser). , floppy, and keyboard/mouse connections make the system a powerful and flexible server for many applications. Price And Availability The RMS-6260 redundant e-server is available now from stock with up to 2 weeks ARO for larger orders. Based on system configurations and OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and requirements, systems are as low as $1,315. Quantity discounts are available. About Broadax Focused on its primary mission to provide state-of-the-art computer systems for mobile and industrial computing needs, Broadax Systems Inc.
