Protect Your Critical Data
Platforms based on the Intel 3200 chipsets support Error
Correction Code (ECC) memory for a high level of data integrity,
reliability, and system uptime. ECC can detect multiple-bit memory
errors and locate and correct single-bit errors to keep business
applications running smoothly. Intel Matrix Storage Technology
with integrated RAID 0, 1, 5, or 10 accelerates data access to
support high user productivity, and helps protect business
operations by allowing recovery of data.
Intel Matrix Storage Technology is built into the Intel® 82801IR I/O
controller hub (ICH9R). The ICH9R also supports both Serial ATA
(SATA) at 3 Gb/s with Native Command Queuing for high-speed
disk access, and legacy parallel hard drive interfaces for versatility
in a high-performance, entry-level server platform.
Cost-effective, Personal Supercomputing
Entry-level Intel server platforms are ideal for building small, cost-
effective HPC clusters that create high-performance, personal
supercomputing solutions, or workgroup clusters. 64-bit comput-
ing, up to 8 GB of high-speed DDR2 memory per processor, and
gigabit Ethernet LAN connectivity enable rapid solutions of the
large, complex problems found in technical computing.
Personal or workgroup clusters based on the Intel Xeon processor
3000 sequence offer an alternative for scientists and researchers
who normally have to share supercomputer or large-scale comput-
ing power within a laboratory or a company. Personal or workgroup
clusters allow scientists and researchers to be more productive
by allowing them to complete tasks on a local cluster more effi-
ciently and conveniently than on larger, shared, computer clusters.
In addition to both convenience and productivity, scientists and
researchers can gain performance capability to help process their
applications or simulations at a fraction of the cost of a full-scale
supercomputer.
These new platforms provide energy-efficient performance to help
you get high-end performance for thin or thick nodes at low power
levels, helping to keep the costs of running your personal cluster
low. The Intel Xeon processor 3000 sequence-based servers give
you essential server technologies to help improve your reliability
and data protection. They can help you solve tough problems for
less cost than traditional cluster technologies with the dependabil-
ity and integrity of Intel’s 20-year track record for delivering reliable,
high-performance solutions.
