2008-11-21
Optimized for Private and Virtual Rack Environments
HOUSTON, Nov. 19, 2008 ? The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting,
today announced the addition of a new high-performance server to its Planet
Alpha line of dedicated servers. Available immediately, the Xeon 5405 features
the largest memory and storage capacity among single-processor servers, offering
customers a powerful solution for their hosting requirements at an economical
price.
With a robust 5000-sequence Xeon processor, the server easily supports database,
e-mail and Web server applications. Available in both SATA and SAS
configurations, the Xeon 5405 is the only single-processor Planet Alpha server
that holds up to six storage drives. It is equipped with RAM capacity up to
32GB, with larger configurations available that provide customers the
flexibility to design the solution that best meets their requirements.
?Customers depend on us to offer the technology that best meets their business
needs,? said Urvish Vashi, general manager for dedicated servers. ?They have
expressed a requirement for a powerful and reasonably priced single-processor
server, and the Xeon 5405 fits the bill perfectly. It provides increased server
storage capacity ? always a precious commodity ? which eliminates the extra
processor they often don?t need. With this new offering, we?re expanding on our
promise to give customers the power to choose the solution that?s right for
them.?
About Xeon 5405
The new Xeon 5405 offers a rich feature set:
Increased storage capacity: The single-processor, multi-core
server supports up to six 1TB SATA drives or six 300GB SAS drives. It also
supports RAID 5 and RAID 10 cards for businesses with additional storage or
redundancy requirements.
Expanded memory: Each server has up to 32GB of RAM, with larger
configurations available for advanced environments.
Easy upgrade path: It features the same chassis as Dual Xeon
dual-processor servers, offering an easy transition path for customer growth.
Suitable for multi-server environments: The server is available as
a single hosted solution, or it can be added to an existing virtual or private
rack environment.
The Xeon 5405 SATA is priced at $249 per month, and the Xeon 5405 SAS is priced
at $284. Both are available in the company?s six world-class data centers.
