SharqServ 440

Intensive Performance

The SharqServ 440 is a powerful server solution designed for core network computing applications. Whether you are running Oracle® to support drug discovery research or building an ERP system to support your business, the 440 has the right set of system resources to deliver excellent performance. The SharqServ 440 is available in a certified cluster configuration for running Oracle 9i RAC ensuring mission critical applications can stay online in the event of a single system failure. The 440 can also be deployed to support other enterprise applications such as groupware or for technical computing such as EDA. Enterprise customers can opt for the high quality engineering of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SuSE Enterprise Server to run mission critical network services. Other scalability features include eight PCI expansion slots, embedded gigabit and Fast Ethernet, on-board dual channel ultra-320 SCSI and support for up to 730GB of internal SCSI storage.

Performance, Scalability and Expandability

The 440 delivers superb performance, scalability and availability. It can scale up to four Intel® Xeon MP processors operating at a peak 2.8GHz with 2MB Advanced Transfer Cache. Memory scalability takes the system up to 24GB of high-performance 266MHz DDR memory with ECC. The 440 has room for up to five Ultra 320 SCSI drives operating at a peak 10000 RPM to deliver a maximum 730GB of internal storage capacity. With the optional RAID and/or Fibre Channel host bus adapters, storage capacity can increase to many terabytes. Integrated Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet ports provide high speed networking support and up to eight PCI and PCI-X devices can extend the I/O capabilities of the 440. Availability is ensured by redundant hot-swap power supplies.

Benefits of the SharqServ 440

Performance - Supports Intel Xeon Processors at 2.8GHz with 512KB-2MB Advanced Transfer Cache and Hyper-Threading Technology. Up to 24GB of registered ECC DDR SDRAM. Five peer PCI buses providing 3GB/sec of I/O bandwidth to support gigabit ethernet, Fibre channel and other I/O intensive interconnects. These features make this server a suitable solution for CPU and memory-intensive enterprise applications such as video streaming, and enterprise resource planning.

Scalability - up to 4 Intel Xeon processors running at 1.6GHz+, Eight available PCI slots: four 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X hot-plug, two 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X non-hot-plug, and two 32-bit/33MHz non-hot-plug; and support for up to 24GB of RAM allows this particular server to scale with your application requirements. Embedded SCSI controllers and optional Fibre Channel HBA's provide options for storage scalability with offerings of up to 10TB available from Xinit.

Availability - the SharqServ 440 ships with dual-redundant power supplies as standard. This fortifies the ability of the SharqServ 440 to soldier on in the event of a failure in its power supply subsystem. The faulty component can be replaced without any downtime. Other availability features include a hot-swappable cooling subsystem and hot-swap support for internal storage.
