Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition 4.0 on its groundbreaking Northbridge NX801 servers beginning in Q4 1997. "Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition 4.0 will allow our customers to fully exploit the performance and scalability of our Northbridge NX801 servers," said Bob Nilsson, Vice President of Marketing for Axil Computer, Inc. "It's hardly coincidental that the feature set of Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition 4.0 - enhanced availability, support for large-scale SMP servers and greater amounts of memory - closely resembles the design goals we set for the Northbridge NX801. Together with Microsoft, were moving aggressively to meet the needs of enterprise customers." "Our customers will be using Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition 4.0 for their largest server applications," said Enzo Schiano, Group Product Manager for Windows NT Server at Microsoft. "Microsoft is pleased that Axil is delivering the scalability they need by matching Windows NT Server Enterprise Edition 4.0 with the 8-processor Northbridge NX801." The Northbridge NX801 server is targeted at industries and market segments with compute-intensive applications that require high data input/output (I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output ) as well as outstanding reliability. Such markets include Internet commerce, document management, collaborative computing and DBMS (DataBase Management System) Software that controls the organization, storage, retrieval, security and integrity of data in a database. It accepts requests from the application and instructs the operating system to transfer the appropriate data. . Designed from the ground up as a highly scaleable and reliable platform for Microsoft Windows NT Server, the Northbridge NX801 was the first server on the market to support up to 8 Intel Pentium Pro(TM) processors. The Northbridge NX801 incorporates Axil's innovative Adaptive Memory Crossbar technology, an ultra-high performance memory subsystem that provides mainframe class I/O capabilities for demanding enterprise applications. With support for configurations that include up to 8 GB of 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. and 216 GB of internal RAID storage, the Northbridge NX801 offers a high degree of expandability. Engineered for reliability as well as performance, the Northbridge NX801 incorporates numerous high-availability features. In addition, the Northbridge NX801 is designed with industry-standard components to ensure application portability and low cost of ownership. About Axil Computer, Inc.
