Intel Announces New Server Products For Intel® Xeon™ Processor Family

New Server Boards, Chassis Take Advantage of New Chipsets, Faster Bus Speeds

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 16, 2002 - Intel Corporation today announced 10 server "building block" products, including five server boards, two server chassis and three RAID controllers, designed for OEM system builders and product integrators. Each new product is centered around the recently announced Intel® Xeon™ processor with 533 MHz system bus and the Intel® E7501 and Intel® E7505 chipsets.

"Intel is announcing a complete lineup of server platforms available in lockstep with our new processors and chipsets, and we are one of the first companies with 533 MHz front-side bus solutions," said Philip Brace, director of marketing for Intel's Enterprise Platforms & Services Division. "Intel continues to refresh and expand our server building blocks for customers, with new additions across the entire product line."

The centerpiece of today's announcement is five server board products for the Intel Xeon processor family. The Intel® Server Board SE7501WV2, Intel® Server Board SE7501HG2, Intel® Server Board SE7501BR2 and Intel® Server Board SE7501CW2 provide a complete line of boards for the Intel® Xeon™ processor for dual-processing servers with 533 MHz system bus and the Intel 7501 chipset. The Intel® Server Board SE7505VB2, also for the Intel Xeon processor for DP servers with 533 MHz system bus, is designed for the 7505 chipset for both server and workstation applications.

The Intel Server Board SE7501WV2, integrated with the 1U Intel® Server Chassis SR1300 or the 2U Intel® Server Chassis SR2300, is optimized for such high-density server environments as high-performance computing or streaming media. The Intel Server Board SE7501HG2, integrated with the Intel Sever Chassis SC5200, is a high-performance 5U/pedestal platform for departmental and database management infrastructure. The Intel Server Board SE7501BR2, which is also supported by the SC5200 as well as the new Intel® Server Chassis SC5250-E, is a volume server offering high-bandwidth, powerful processing for e-Business and workgroup servers.

All these new platforms support the latest technologies, such as Ultra320 SCSI with embedded RAID 0/1, full-featured Intel Server Management version 5.5 for remote server management, and Intel® PRO/1000 Gigabit Server Connections for industry-leading network performance, reduced server bottlenecks and improved availability from advanced server features.

The Intel Server Board SE7505VB2, also integrated with the Intel Server Chassis SC5250-E, is a flexible DP server/workstation platform with integrated Serial ATA ports and an AGP 8X slot for high performance graphics. Finally, for the value server segment, the Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 offers the benefits of a real server and provides versatility for small and medium sized businesses.

The new Intel Server Chassis SC5250-E is a value-optimized pedestal chassis ideal for the small business server or workstation market and includes features such as a shorter depth and flexible storage options (e.g. fixed drives, hotswap SCSI, or Serial ATA support).

Completing the picture of building block elements introduced today is the announcement of three Intel RAID controllers for advanced data protection: the Intel® RAID Controller SRCU42L, the Intel® RAID Controller SRCS14L, and the Intel® RAID Controller SRCZCR. The new RAID controllers are based around the Intel® 80303 I/O processor and support the latest disk I/O interfaces: Ultra320 SCSI and Serial ATA.

Intel also announced today that the Intel® Server Platform SRSH4 and SPSH4 will be upgraded to support the latest Intel® Xeon™ processor MP with an enhanced two megabyte (MB) integrated level three cache at speeds up to 2 gigahertz (GHz). These platforms are targeted at demanding uses ranging from large-department data centers to mid-tier and back-end application servers.
