The Planet Adds New High-Performance Xeon Server to Portfolio
Optimized for Private and Virtual Rack Environments
HOUSTON (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) November 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
