| Movidis Unveils x16 Server for the Enterprise Movidis has announced a new server that offers high performance, security and power-efficiency. The Revolution x16 Servers provide a single architecture for high performance networked storage, secure Web transactions, databases and applications running in the datacenter or at the edge of the network. By eliminating the need for single function servers, the Revolution saves users time and money. The Revolution leverages a new chip that is designed to run as quickly and efficiently as users' servers demand. To achieve this, the Revolution uses OCTEON CN3860, a 16-core, 64-bit MIPS processor, which can execute almost 20 billion instructions per second. Key features include: - Performance: with 16 cores and the ability to execute almost 20 billion instructions per second, the Revolution offers unparalleled, multi-purpose performance. - Power: consuming just 50 watts, the Revolution dramatically reduces operating power and cooling requirements. - Security: the Revolution server's OCTEON includes integrated accelerators that perform encryption, compression, and TCP packet processing in hardware, making it incredibly secure and fast. - Open source built-in: the Revolution ships with Linux burned into the on-board flash, along with development tools and applications pre-installed and ready to run on the internal hard drives. Additionally, it's loaded with Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP/Perl/Python to offer core programs for Web and e-commerce servers, as well as the widely accepted open source database software MySQL and PostgreSQL on the standard production build. Revolution x16 Servers are available in 1U or 2U rack mount enclosures, with either four or eight SATA or SAS drives, for a maximum capacity of 6 Terabytes in a single 2U RAID system. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Networking News :: home page |
