Acer Altos G540 provides outstanding value to workgroups by combining scalable performance and new availability features at an affordable price. Advanced capabilities make the server easy to manage, which can help control IT expenses. Redundancy features such as redundant power supplies and native RAID solutions are offered on the Acer Altos G540. The G540 also offers you the possibility to upgrade to enterprise server features such as redundant arrays of storage, in a flexible and affordable manner.Dual Core 64 Bit Performance:
Flexible systems design methodologies allow you to configure the G540 to match your budget. The Acer Altos G540 is based the Intel Xeon 5000 Series processor with 64 Bit processing technology. This platform enables you to run tomorrow's 64 bit applications and boost throughput using Dual Core technology. Indeed, the G540 is built to support next generation Quad Core processors when they become available. System performance can be scaled in line with your business growth, by the addition of a second processor. Redundant power supplies and redundant Hot-swap hard disk drives provide affordable performance and data protection. The G540 introduces Serial Attached SCSI technology to the Acer Altos Range, with throughputs of up to 3Gb/s per channel. The Acer Altos G540 is fully convertible from a tower to a rack mountable form factor.
Best in class redundancy and scalability solutions:
