Apr, 2010 : The Planet Announces Quad Xeon 7550 Server
📅 - Built on a Dell PowerEdge R910 rack server chassis, the Quad Xeon 7550 is the first four-socket (4S) server in company's fleet.
The Planet, a privately held dedicated hosting company, today announced the immediate availability of the Quad Xeon 7550 server, equipped with the new Nehalem EX processor. The company avers that with more than three times the performance of the Intel Xeon 7400 series, this eight-core processor offers new levels of scalability and advanced reliability for mission-critical applications. It becomes the most powerful server in the company's portfolio.
It explains that built on a Dell PowerEdge R910 rack server chassis, the Quad Xeon 7550 is the first four-socket (4S) server in its fleet. It provides enhanced performance with a 2.0GHz processor, 18MB of cache and 1066MHz bus speed. The server's default configuration includes 32GB of RAM, 2TB of bandwidth and 2-300GB SAS drives. The company further explains that when hyper-threading is enabled, the 32-core processor increases to 64 cores for greater throughput and responsiveness. With this core density, combined with a memory footprint that can expand up to 2TB, this platform is ideal for virtualization and cloud deployments.
It articulates that every server from it comes bundled with Symantec Endpoint Protection - business-class antivirus software - along with 10GB of Storage Cloud, its robust cloud storage solution. Customers also receive the Parallels Small Business Panel for simple server setup and control. The company adds that the new server is available today to all virtual and private and rack customers, with availability to all other environments by end of month.
"Customers that run large in-memory databases, applications or business-critical workloads require powerful hardware that provides maximum performance, expandability and high availability," said Todd Mitchell, General Manager for Dedicated Hosting and Global Services. "With the biggest performance leap in Xeon history, the new Quad Xeon 7550 delivers, with enhanced memory bandwidth, socket scalability and more than 20 new reliability features. Customers can effectively host their mission-critical data and applications on this versatile new platform, backed by The Planet's enterprise-class network and data centers."
