See rack mounted. powered by dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processors with dual-core technology. As the latest, most powerful addition to Alienware's line of Hivemind rack servers, the Hivemind 5520 offers a complete and customizable solution for demanding business environments, providing up to 3TB of hard drive storage and up to 16GB of memory. Hivemind 5520 servers can be configured with dual Intel Xeon processors powered by dual-core technology, which provides businesses with enhanced performance when running multiple data-intensive applications at the same time. The Hivemind 5520's dual Intel Xeon processors are 64-bit ready and feature an 800MHz (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. front side bus and increased clock speeds to enable more data to be processed in less time. The Hivemind 5520, with Intel Xeon processors, gives businesses the flexibility to run all existing 32-bit applications at optimum performance while at the same time being ready to handle 64-bit applications as they become available. With ample room for expansion, the Hivemind 5520 supports a storage capacity of up to 3TB SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. or 2.4TB SATA (Serial ATA) A serial version of the ATA (IDE) interface, which has been the de facto standard hard disk interface for desktop PCs for more than two decades. The original Parallel ATA (PATA) interface was launched in 1986. in RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 configurations. The server also allows companies to increase memory as their application demands expand, supporting up to 16GB of ECC (1) (Error-Correcting Code) A type of memory that corrects errors on the fly.
