FORCE INTROS ATX PLATFORM WITH DUAL XEON PROCESSORS.Force Computers, a Solectron company and a leader in embedded computing, recently introduced the FES-4203 Force Embedded Server board based on dual Intel[R] Xeon processors and quad Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. interfaces. With 1.8 to 2.2GHz processors and robust 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 capability, this high-density 12x10-inch ATX See ATX motherboard. (hardware, standard) ATX - An open PC motherboard specification by Intel. ATX is a development of the Baby AT specification with the motherboard rotated 90 degrees in the chassis. form-factor platform offers the latest embedded computing technology including dual independent PCI-X (PCI eXtended) An enhanced PCI bus technology originally developed by IBM, HP and Compaq that is backward compatible with existing PCI cards. PCI and 32-bit PCI-X slots are physically the same, and PCI cards can plug into PCI-X slots. busses, up to 12GBytes DDR SDRAM See DDR. memory and advanced ServerWorks GC-LE chipset. Altogether, it meets the demanding requirements of network storage, medical imaging, high-end firewalls, intrusion-detection systems (IDS), streaming-media servers, high-end embedded print engines and other I/O-intensive 1U/2U platform applications. "To meet the growing demand for Gigabit Ethernet capability, Force's FES-4203 embedded server board implements four of the high-bandwidth interfaces to offer an optimum in flexible computing power," said Abdelilah Aadil, Force product marketing manager. "Thus, it enables 1U/2U server support of emerging technologies as well as provides industry-leading performance. And it extends our market trendsetting line of dual Xeon processor boards based on the high-density ATX form-factor with high-performance DDR SDRAM and high-speed, robust I/O-easing system integration for OEMs and satiating the appetite of today's bandwidth-hungry applications." |
