These new servers incorporate the Intel Xeon processors, which is Intel's high performance processor optimized for server applications. The rack optimized NetFRAME 1600 and 2600 offer the highest density servers available from MicronPC, and appeal to IT professionals who are looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. high performance, reliability and space efficiency. The NetFRAME 3600 is a general-purpose server designed for small businesses or workgroups of larger organizations. This trio of servers features dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processors with Hyper-Threading Technology, up to 12 GB of DDR (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus.

PCI and 32-bit PCI-X slots are physically the same, and PCI cards can plug into PCI-X slots. expansion. NetFRAME 1600 -- At 1U high, the NetFRAME 1600 is MicronPC's highest density server, allowing up to 42 servers in one standard rack. Features include: -- Dual Intel Xeon processors -- Up to 12GB ECC DDR 266 2-way interleaving SDRAM -- Integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet NIC -- Triple peer bus architecture with advanced PCI-X support -- Up to three hot-swap SCSI drive bays in 1U form factor NetFRAME 2600 -- At 2U high, the NetFRAME 2600 allows up to 21 servers in one rack. Features include: -- Dual Intel Xeon processors -- Up to 12GB ECC (1) (Error-Correcting Code) A type of memory that corrects errors on the fly. See ECC memory. (2) (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) A public key cryptography method that provides fast decryption and digital signature processing. DDR 266 2-way interleaving interleaving - sector interleave 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. -- Integrated dual 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. NIC (1) (Network Interface Card) See network adapter. See also InterNIC.

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. ) -- Up to seven hot-swap 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. drive bays in 2U form factor -- Hot-swap redundant power supplies NetFRAME 3600 -- Available in either a rack or pedestal chassis, the NetFRAME 3600 is an affordable multi-purpose server. Features include: -- Dual Intel Xeon processors -- Up to 12GB of PC1600 2-way interleave To intersperse one after the other. See sector interleave and memory interleaving. interleave - interleaving ECC DDR memory -- Up to 10 hot-swap hard drives for a total of 1.46 TB of storage -- Six PCI-X expansion slots -- Dual integrated Gigabit network interfaces -- Hot-swap redundant power supplies "The NetFRAME server line provides unparalleled performance for the dollar," said Paul Petersen, vice president of product marketing and development for MicronPC. "The NetFRAME 1600 and 2600 servers are designed for customers that have space constraints in their server room, yet still need a high performance and highly reliable server platform. The NetFRAME 3600 appeals to IT professionals looking for a high performance, affordable, and expandable system to serve as a file and print, web, SQL SQL in full Structured Query Language.

The Network Solutions Team (NST NST nonstress test. NST Nonstress test, see there ): MicronPC also offers consulting services for customers needing assistance in configuring servers and hardware solutions at no additional charge. The Network Solutions Team (NST) boasts a wealth of knowledge and industry certifications, and provides reliable solutions for most business computing challenges. Optional Service and Support Customers may also select from a variety of optional service and support offerings from MicronPC. One of our most unique options is the Hard Drive Protection Program. Starting at $99, this service allows customers to replace a failed hard drive while still protecting confidential data stored in the original hard drive. MicronPC will ship a replacement hard drive and customers need only return the top plate of the failed hard drive, not the entire hard drive. In this manner, customers are able to retain the sensitive data stored on the failed drive. This service is especially important for business and government organizations that store highly confidential data and are concerned about data security. In addition, server installations, data migrations, system upgrades, four-hour on-site service (available in key metropolitan areas), and end-of-life recycling services are available as part of MicronPC's portfolio of server services. And, MicronPC can provide other customized solutions suitable to meet most customer requirements, ranging from custom hardware configurations to custom hard drive imaging.
