HP NETSERVER E60 INTEGRATES INTEL FAST ETHERNET CONTROLLER.Hewlett-Packard Company has integrated the Intel 82559 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. controller into its new HP NetServerE60 systems. The HP NetServer E60 system not only ships with an Intel-based 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. on Motherboard 100 Mbps connection, but can also support an additional PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). Network Interface Card for end-users who require more data throughput and reliability for a greater level of connectivity. Designed for fast-growing small and medium-size businesses, the HP NetServer E60 system combines Intel's advanced Fast Ethernet server networking technology with the dual capability of Intel Pentium II The successor to the Pentium Pro from Intel. Pentium II refers to the CPU chip or the PC that uses it. Code named "Klamath," the Pentium II was a Pentium Pro with MMX multimedia instructions. and Pentium III The successor to the Pentium II from Intel. Introduced in the spring of 1999 at 500 MHz, the Pentium III architecture was similar to the Pentium II with the addition of 70 new instructions optimized for multimedia (see SSE). processors. The E60 server provides easy set-up, backup capabilities and expansion for companies with little or no information technology support. Intel's networking technology makes it simpler for businesses to scale their infrastructure as they grow, with features such as Adaptive Load Balancing The fine tuning of a computer system, network or disk subsystem in order to more evenly distribute the data and/or processing across available resources. For example, in clustering, load balancing might distribute the incoming transactions evenly to all servers, or it might redirect them and Link Aggregation for scalability plus Adapter Fault Tolerance for reliability. As an upgrade option, HP also offers a Gigabit adapter built on Intel's PRO/1000 Gigabit Ethernet technology for its NetServer E60 line. "Intel's family of server adapters helps provide the needed bandwidth to handle today's increasing network traffic," said Tim Dunn, director of adapter marketing. "Integrating the Intel networking solution helps ensure that small and medium-size businesses have a network server solution that can grow with their business needs." Intel Ethernet technology is also integrated into other models of the HP NetServer product family, including the HP NetServer LPr, LC 3, LH 3 and LH 4 systems.
