The Sharq EVS104 is an entry-level ATA-based 1RU server designed for front-end applications. Entry level edge services such as web serving with Apache or DNS services with BIND are the ideal applications for this low-cost server solution. Other applications include firewall or authentication services.

The EVS104 has a blinding array of integrated components including dual Fast Ethernet ports and 8MB video, leaving two free PCI slots available for future expansion opportunities.

Xinit Systems can deliver the EVS104 with the latest stock Red Hat Linux distribution, plus security fixes, pre-installed. We can also work with you to develop custom application environments - our professional services team has worked with many companies to maximise the benefits of and tune our products for their varying and unique requirements.

Benefits of the EVS104

Expansion - the EVS104, although only 1.75" high, boasts expansion capabilities not usually found in systems of this size - with two free 32-bit PCI expansion slots available. It is also capable of sporting up to two internal ATA-100 hard-disk drives which can scale up in capacity to 160GB each - giving an unprecedented internal storage capacity of 320GB.

Performance - competitors' products in this range, entry-level 1U, tend to be limiting in their performance with support for only Celeron® processors or entry-level Pentium® processors from Intel® Corporation. No such thing with the EVS104 - it can support the Pentium® IV processor to 2.4GHz and have up to 3GB of high-performance SDRAM. This may be an entry-level server, however, it has the capability to grow with you as you ask more of it.

Affordability - in todays business climate, the customers that come knocking are increasingly asking for more and wanting to pay less - how do you continue to provide the quality of service that will enable you to retain customers whilst, at the same time, reducing investment in infrastructure? Simple. The EVS104 is a very affordable product that does not skimp on quality - enabling you to give more and pay less!.
