A simple, flexible system that provides exceptional value

Looking to simplify your complex IT environment? The Intel® Modular Server integrates storage, computing, and networking to one system to simplify complex IT environments. This Techworld 2008 award winning Server Product of the Year offers a business-in-a-box with seamless installation, migration, and growth capabilities. This is a flexible and powerful system for the small to midsize business at an exceptional value.

  • Supports up to six server compute modules
  • Two hard disk drive options (six 3.5" SAS/SATA or fourteen SAS 2.5" hard disk drives)
  • Virtualized shared storage for optimum flexibility
  • Integrated management module for centralized management
  • Supports up to two Ethernet switches and storage controllers for redundancy

Featured product

  • NEW! Intel® LUN Copier (software upgrade)
    Enable local copies of any LUN (virtual drive) when not actively used by a compute module. This capability simplifies tasks, such as (a) creating a local copy of a data LUN and (b) creating a new OS LUN (which can be assigned to a new compute module as the boot LUN), by copying an existing LUN which already has an OS installed in it.

Features and benefits

Scalable server compute capacity Supports up to six (6) Intel® Xeon® processor-based server compute modules.
Virtual, integrated shared storage Diskless server compute modules utilize the integrated SAN with virtual drives to increase flexibility and maximize storage capacity.
Virtual presence GUI management Manage your system as if you were standing right in front of it with the Virtual Presence GUI Management Interface.
Integrated networking Dual 1GbE Switches offer 10 x 1GbE uplinks per switch
Full redundancy and hot swap capabilities Hot-swappable server compute modules and storage drives let you increase capacity on-demand. Redundant modules and hot spare options offer high availability.
Flexible power options Chassis power supplies can utilize 100-240V power, eliminating special power requirements worldwide. The consolidated power and cooling features reduce operating costs.
Increased IT uptime Redundant systems increase network uptime with failovers between servers and backups.
Easy application migration Shared storage and virtual drives provide for easy application and storage migration.
Grow-as-you-go flexibility With options for up to six server compute modules and six to fourteen hard disk drives, purchase only as much as you need when you need it.
Greater asset utilization Diskless server compute modules allow for maximum use of system assets.
Unique serviceability Hot-swappable components don't require any cables or tools to service.
Ease of Management One integrated system with end-to-end management lets you manage the entire system from a Web-based GUI interface.
Improved data protection Centralized backup and virtual access allow for greater data protection.
