MECER PLATINUM ENTERPRISE SERVER

Platinum Enterprise Server

Take advantage of the
Intel® Pentium ® II Platinum Enterprise Server processor. The Platinum Enterprise Server quad processor design offers powerful solutions previously unavailable at such an affordable price. Based on Intel's leading-edge Pentium II Platinum Enterprise Server processor technology, the Platinum Enterprise Server provides the processing speed and full-speed L2 cache sizes necessary to run the most demanding applications, both today and tomorrow. The Platinum Enterprise Server can meet a wide range of needs, with processing speeds starting at 400 MHz and cache sizes ranging from 512 KB to 2 MB. In addition, the Platinum Enterprise Server offers true scalability by supporting from one to four Pentium II Platinum Enterprise Server processors.

Bringing Quad Server Platforms to Your Dual Processor Market Segment
The Platinum Enterprise Server is a smart investment regardless of your current needs, because it's designed to respond to changing business environments. Buy the power you need today and have immediate upgrade capability for your needs tomorrow. Using ground breaking architecture, the Platinum Enterprise Server gives you 4-way power and flexibility for the price of a 2-way design.

Combining Intel Reliability and High Availability Features for Maximum Uptime
Like all Intel server products, the Platinum Enterprise Server is built for uncompromising reliability and maximum uptime. From component selection to the latest in system architecture, this dependable platform is designed to power critical business applications with minimal downtime. High availability features include hot-swap power supplies, hot-swap SCSI drive bays and robust clustering options enabled by Service Mode.

Service Your System Without Interrupting Your Business
Service Mode has been designed for clustering, allowing the internal drive array to remain on-line while the main electronics are powered off for upgrades and maintenance. In this mode, a second server can continue to access the drives through the LVDS SCSI bus.

Lower Ownership Costs Through Manageability
To control ownership costs, the Platinum Enterprise Server contains a complete set of manageability features so you can anticipate problems. For example, Intel's Emergency Management Port (EMP) provides remote access through a modem. Service technicians can remotely observe critical event logs and reset or power cycle the Platinum Enterprise Server platform. The Platinum Enterprise Server's powerful on-board management controller and Intel Server Control (ISC) management software let you monitor and control the server's temperatures and voltages, chassis security, baseboard inventory and other hardware functions. Management redundancy also is achieved through the Platinum Enterprise Server's incorporation of Inter-Chassis Management Bus (ICMB) architecture.

Rack or Pedestal Configuration
For easy installation, the same Platinum Enterprise Server base hardware supports both rack and pedestal configurations. For maximum flexibility, conversion between pedestal and rack is as simple as changing the covers.

FEATURES BENEFITS
