Intel SR1550ALR Server

This is Intel’s latest generation of enterprise-level, rack optimised system level solutions. Processing power, reliable memory infrastructure, and redundant networking are critical requirements in growing companies, as well as higher flexibility in data storage and security. The rack-optimised systems from Intel provide different levels of power and cooling redundancy and flexible storage solutions including 2.5”/3.5” SATA or SAS drives, as well as support for both tape drives and optical drives. These systems designed for space-constrained environments are optimised in either a 1U, 1U with redundant power, or a 2U form-factor.

The 1U systems are designed for organisations running front-end Internet, Web-hosting, and HPC applications
The 2U systems handle more demanding departmental database, datacenter, and other high-transaction applications

The Intel® Server Systems SR1550AL include the Intel® Server Essentials CD pack, a suite of software applications that are designed to help reduce the complexity of deploying and managing Intel Server Systems.The Intel Server Essentials CD pack is comprised of Intel® Deployment Assistant, a graphical tool aimed at simplifying the process of setting up and deploying an Intel server, and Intel® System Management Software, a comprehensive software suite designed by Intel and Microsoft to provide local and remote sever management functionality specifically for small- and medium-sized businesses. The software included in the Intel Server Essentials CD pack simplifies your server setup and can help you not only manage your servers but your entire IT infrastructure.This family of systems is also designed for increased uptime and tool-less serviceability. Over 10,000+ hours of testing and validation were done, not only with other building blocks from Intel, but also with third party peripherals and memory to assure compatibility and reliability.

Features and Benefits

Balanced server platforms based on multi-core Intel® Xeon® Processors offer the following:

Multi-core processing multiplies server performance by multiplying processing ability on a single chip, without increasing power consumption.
Dual independent bus architecture enables dedicated data flow to each processor, maximising system performance.
Fully buffered DIMM memory increases capacity and memory bandwidth to keep pace with the processor and I/O performance enhancements.
Intel® 64 architecture5 extends the amount of available server memory.
Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT) is a platform innovation that helps get network data to and from server applications faster, while consuming far fewer CPU cycles.
Intel® Virtualization Technology6 turns a physical server into multiple systems (virtual machines) allowing multiple operating systems and applications to run inside a single platform.
Execute Disable Bit7 reduces exposure to viruses and prevents harmful software from executing on the server or network.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology allows processors to adjust their operating speeds to meet varying performance needs, while balancing power consumption.
