Keeping with their reputation of high bandwidth, latest technology, and low price dedicated servers, 100TB.com adds Intel’s newest Xeon E5-2600 product family to their server line-up. Heralded as the best product family to date, the E5 product families are sure to cause a change in the dedicated server market.

100TB.com has a deep history of market changing products. The name of the company itself reflects an offering their competitors are still trying to achieve: 100 terabytes of top tier bandwidth included with every dedicated web server. Adding the Intel Xeon E5-2600 product families to their current server line-up, and pricing strategy, is hard to beat.

“From the beginning we decided to be an industry leading company. We’ve delivered on that vision several times and offering Intel’s new E5 servers, with 100 terabytes of bandwidth, at the price listed, is definitely causing a buzz,” said Thomas Hancock, the general manager of 100TB.com. “There has been a lot excitement surrounding the E5s, we love adding to it.”

The Xeon E5-2600 product families deliver higher performance, efficiency, and security than the prior generation. The new servers optimize I/O throughput and reduce data latency by 30 percent.

Rugged Battery-Powered All-In-One Mobile Server - Vigor EX-B

Rugged, Battery-Powered Server from NextComputing Brings Local Cloud Computing to the Field - All-In-One, deployable server delivers virtualized computing resources to tactical operations centers

NextComputing, a leading provider of portable workstations and dense, small-footprint servers, announces a new rugged portable server solution for forward deployed military environments or any remote location that requires enterprise computing resources. The Vigor EX-B is NextComputing’s first completely battery-powered and fully mobile rugged server, able to run on its own internal power for up to 4 hours. Designed to support tactical operations centers and other mission-critical environments, the Vigor EX-B is the ideal platform for delivering virtualized “local cloud” computing services to multiple users in a remote setting.

As cloud computing continues to grow across multiple industries, off-site operations are often seeking solutions to provide these types of services in the field. While traditional rackmount servers can do the job, these systems and their associated rack infrastructure – including power conditioning, switching, KVM, etc. – are often impractical in a tactical environment where size, weight, power and mobility are important factors. Electrical power is usually unreliable in these situations, and a typical UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) can only run a server for a very short period of time. And though laptops are usually the preferred platform for client systems, these computers are not up to the task of running multiple concurrent applications and operating systems with virtualization – a requirement for deploying cloud services.

New Line of Smart Servers with Intel Core i Processors - iWeb

iWeb Releases a New Line of Smart Servers Equipped with Intel's Core i Processors - iWeb announces the introduction of Intel Core i processors in its Smart Servers line of dedicated servers and that it had reached the 1,500 active Smart Servers mark.

iWeb (TSX-V: IWB), a global provider of Internet hosting services and IT infrastructure, announces the introduction of Intel Core i processors in its Smart Servers line of dedicated servers.

The Smart Servers are now available in several configurations that use Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 starting from only $109/month. Intel Core i3 and i5 are also available on iWeb's Classic dedicated servers.

iWeb enable its 1500th Smart Server

Two months ago, iWeb announced that it had reached the 1,000 active Smart Servers mark. As of today, over 1500 Smart Servers have been enabled. This confirms the trend that this new type of dedicated server fulfills a need by providing dedicated servers users with flexibility usually associated with Cloud type hosting.

Launched in mid October 2010, Smart Servers represent iWeb's largest innovation to-date. In only 3 months, the Smart Server has secured a very important place in the company’s portfolio of products.

The launch of this new line of dedicated servers marked the first step in the company’s transformation into one of the most innovative providers of automated hosting services.

iX-Neutron 10G Rackmount Server Energy Efficient Series

iXsystems Announces the iX-Neutron 10G Rackmount Server Series - Systems Feature Energy Efficient, Next-Generation 10 Gigabit Performance

iXsystems today introduced the iX2216-10G and iX1204-10G servers to cater to the increasing demand for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) technology. 10GbE has moved past the early adoption stage and is rapidly becoming the mainstay for the backbone of enterprise and service provider networks.

The iX2216-10G and iX1204-10G servers are equipped with energy-efficient, next-generation 10GbE performance. 10GbE provides unparalleled throughput for virtualized servers and unified networks, and has emerged into the enterprise and service provider space as a viable, low-cost networking alternative to Fibre Channel. Next-Generation 10GbE performance is ideal for demanding applications such as high performance computing, high-volume transaction processing, and video-on-demand.

"These products are the forefront of the 10 Gigabit Ethernet wave," said Doug White, Senior Test Engineer at iXsystems. "Server performance is increasingly constrained by network bandwidth. With recent improvements to performance and cost, 10 Gigabit Ethernet is now ready to displace Gigabit Ethernet and alleviate the server bandwidth crunch."
