Tatung Announces New Family of High Performance Dual New Intel Xeon EU64T --Nocona-- Servers for Rackmount Environments.FREMONT, Calif. -- Tatung Science & Technology Inc. (TSTI TSTI Total Safety Task Instruction TSTI Texas State Traffic Institute TSTI Too Small To Investigate (TM)), is introducing a new family of rackmount servers, targeting the high-end market for PC application, scientific and engineering, Web-based application servers, e-commerce servers, Internet game servers and clustering environments. Two models, including 1U and 2U form factor systems, support up to two new Intel(R) Xeon processors (formerly code-named Nocona) running at 2.8 GHz or higher, featuring an 800MHz front side Bus, PCI Express, Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T (Extended Memory 64 Technology) The first name of Intel's 64-bit x86 CPUs. In 2006, the name of the technology was changed to "Intel 64." See Intel 64. ) and a variety of high performance peripheral device options. The new Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology enables 64-bit memory addressability for greater application flexibility while preserving the investment in 32-bit applications. Space-Saving Rack-Optimized IU and 2U Form Factors The model TS-1551 server is a 1U system, requiring the least amount of rackmount space without compromising performance or expandability of components. The system includes dual new Intel Xeon processors, rated at 2.8 GHz or higher, with 1MB of level 2 cache See L2 cache. level 2 cache - secondary cache . It features Front Side Bus speeds of 800 MHz, 450 watt or higher power supplies and support for 3.5 inch front-mounted hot-swap drives. The TS-1551 features up to 24GB of 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 (Double Data Rate) Refers to an SDRAM memory chip that increases performance by doubling the effective data rate of the frontside bus. For more details, see SDRAM. DDR - Double Data Rate Random Access Memory 266/12 GB of DDR333 memory, a slim floppy disk and slim CD-ROM drive, two PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). expansion slots (one PCI Express optional), RAID and Ethernet support. The TS-1551 includes an Adaptec AIC-7902W dual channel Ultra 320 SCSI controller, three hot-swap 3.5 inch Ultra 320 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. hard disk drives and one 64-bit, 66MHz SO-DIMM See SODIMM. SO-DIMM - Small Outline DIMM for the Adaptec ZCR ZCR Zero Channel Raid (RAID technology) ZCR Zero-Channel RAID ZCR Zero-Crossing Rate ZCR Zip Code Rapists (band) ZCR Zweefvliegclub Rotterdam (Netherlands) , with optional support for RAID levels 0, 1 and 5. The system also includes Intel 82546EB gigabit ethernet 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. controllers, ATI (ATI Technologies Inc., Markham Ontario, http://ati.amd.com) A leading manufacturer of graphics chips and display adapters. Founded in 1985 by K. Y. Ho, Benny Lau and Lee Lau, ATI chips and boards are widely used by OEMs. Ragetm XL graphics controllers with onboard 8MB frame buffers and bus master IDE ports supporting ATA-100. The TS-2552 is a 2U server, also featuring single or dual new Intel Xeon processors rated at 2.8 GHz or higher, with 1MB of level 2 cache and up to 24 GB of ECC DDR266/12 GB of DDR333 memory. It features Front Side Bus speeds of 800 MHz; a 550 watt single or redundant (1 + 1) power supply and six PCI expansion slots (including one PCI Express slot). The TS- 2552 also includes an Adaptec AIC-7902W dual channel ultra 320 SCSI controller; eight hot-swap 3.5 inch ultra 320 SCSI hard disk drives; and one 64-bit, 66 MHz SO-DIMM for Adaptec ZCR with optional support for RAID levels 0, 1, and 5; Intel 82546EB gigabit Ethernet LAN controllers; ATI Rage XL graphics controllers with onboard 8 MB frame buffers and bus master IDE ports supporting ATA-100. The new Intel processor-based platform, which features an advanced Intel Xeon processor and a significantly more powerful chipset, boosts performance by up to 30 percent over previous generations. The new platforms also help reduce power consumption and total cost of ownership. "Tatung's use of the new Intel Xeon processor family allow these systems to increase performance and memory capabilities for data - hungry applications, including scientific, financial data modeling, engineering design automation, e-commerce and clustering applications," said Dr. Kam Chan, president of Tatung Science and Technology Inc. Tatung Blade Server Family Tatung is also shipping a family of award winning Ultra Dense Blade Servers which deliver the highest density, high performance, low power consumption and highest manageability of any ultra dense platform today. The TUD-4010 accommodates 10 dual Xeon processor 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. server blades, supporting up to 200 Intel Xeon processors servers per 42U rack while the TUD-3114 accommodates 14 single Intel Xeon processors, supporting up to 196 servers per 42U rack. Completely modular with hot-swappable components including multiple server blades, redundant switch blades, management blades, power supplies and fan modules, the systems offer built-in high availability, scalability, flexibility, serviceability and manageability, all with low power consumption. Both systems are bundled with Amphus ManageSite 2.3(TM), a management software suite which supports lights out and remote management, fast and automatic provisioning and task management. The highly integrated systems will help to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO (1) (Total Cost of Ownership) The cost of using a computer. It includes the cost of the hardware, software and upgrades as well as the cost of the inhouse staff and/or consultants that provide training and technical support. See ROI. ) and increase server utilization and operational efficiencies for data center applications. About Tatung Science & Technology Inc.
