Portwell Rolls Out Mission Critical NAR-7050 Appliance Server
4/19/2004 - Portwell, the leading Communication Appliance platform provider, proudly introduced the NAR-7050 appliance server for mission critical applications, of which requirements are beyond the limitation of current solutions in the market.
The NAR-7050 is based on the cutting-edge 533 MHz Intel E7501 chipset and 82546 dual-Gigabit Ethernet controllers. It offers superior computing power of dual Xeon processors up to 2.4 GHz and data throughput via four 64-bit, 133 MHz Gigabit interfaces in a 1U industrial grade rack-mount system. The hyper-threading capabilities of dual Xeon processors provide unparalleled computing power to Gigabit oriented applications. The performance of four front-accessible Gigabit Ethernet interfaces is optimized to take full advantage of the high-bandwidth I/O architecture of Intel E7501. The choices of different combination of Copper and Fiber-Optic Gigabit Ethernet interfaces are available to satisfy a wider range of applications.
One built-in front-accessible PCI-X expansion slot of 133 MHz allows for expansion with encryption acceleration card to boost overall hardware performance or RAID card for storage solutions. An optional PMC connector of independent PCI-X channel is equipped for higher flexibility of add-on card selections.
As for the cooling within the system, the optimized ventilation design and a set of hot swappable fan modules within NAR-7050 greatly enhance the system reliability and ease of maintenance.
In summary, NAR-7050 offers:
- Up to 4 Gbytes on DDR SDRAM
- One 133 MHz PCI-X slot; one optional 64-bit PMC connector of independent PCI-X channel
- Four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces based on Intel 82546 (two Coppers and two Fiber-Optics) and one Fast Ethernet interface based on Intel 82551
- One hot-swappable fan module
- 250W ATX power supply
- LCD/keypad module for ease of installation and maintenance
- Front-accessible system console for easier BIOS level hardware debug
