ServerWorks' ServerSet III HE Accelerates High Performance 6-way HP NetServer Systems.Business Editors & High Tech Writers SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 6, 2000 ServerWorks Corp., the leading independent supplier of high-performance core logic for Intel(R)-based servers, today announced that the Hewlett-Packard Company has selected its ServerWorks' ServerSet(tm) III HE chipset for use in two new flagship systems introduced today. The new HP NetServer LH 6000 and LT 6000r systems offer enterprise, service provider and dot-com customers the scalability and performance of a six-way PC server at the price of a conventional four-way system. The ServerWorks' ServerSet III HE North Bridge supports a 128-bit wide memory system with up to 16 PC133 registered DIMMs, for a maximum capacity of 16 GBytes and a peak bandwidth of 3.2 GBytes/second. The core logic's PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). Bridge supports dual 64-bit PCI buses operating at 33 or 66 MHz (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. , for more than 1 GByte/second of 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 bandwidth. The combination of the PC133 high bandwidth/low latency memory system and the dual fast/wide PCI buses allows the HP NetServer LH 6000 system to claim the No. 1 spot on the TPC-C A benchmark that measures overall transaction processing performance. See TPC. Top Ten price/performance list at $13.95/tmpC, with an amazing 33,136 tpmC, 60 percent better than a similarly configured four-way Sun Enterprise 450(1) ServerWorks commenced shipments of its ServerSet III HE core logic chipset late in 1999. "The new HP NetServer LH 6000 and LT 6000 systems set new standards in enterprise computing Refers to information technology in the larger company. See enterprise data and enterprise networking. ," said Richard Archuleta, general manager, HP Network Server Division. "The combination of HP innovation and ServerWorks technology delivers the reliability and performance that our customers demand at an amazingly attractive price. HP's ability to pack 60 Intel 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). Xeon processors into a single 2-meter rack will be especially appealing to service providers who need to optimize every square inch of their equipment cages." "Our objective at ServerWorks is to make Intel-based systems the number one computing platform See platform. serving the Internet infrastructure. With the launch of the HP NetServer LH 6000, HP becomes the first ServerWorks customer to incorporate all of our third-generation products into its product lines," noted Raju Vegesna, ServerWorks' president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. . "The company's earlier HP NetServer LC 2000 and LH 3000 systems used our ServerSet III LE, and its VISUALIZE X-Class Personal Workstations incorporate our ServerSet III WS. Now, HP has used our ServerSet III HE to build the most powerful ServerWorks-based servers ever." About the HP NetServer LH 6000 and LT 6000r Systems: The HP NetServer LH 6000 system supports up to six Intel Pentium(R) III Xeon processors running at 550 MHz, up to 8GBytes of industry-standard PC133 ECC memory, fast (66 MHz) and wide (64-bit) PCI buses, and up to 12 internal Ultra2 SCSI disk drives in a conventional chassis. The HP NetServer LT 6000r system packs a similar set of features into a 4U rack-mount chassis, and allows customers to deploy the power of up to 60 Intel Pentium III Xeon processors in a single 40U rack.
