Claimed by the Texas-based vendor, Dell Inc. to be its highest
performing server, the PowerEdge R900’s Philippine launch was
announced at a press briefing recently at the Shangrila Manila Hotel
in Makati City.
Jacob Pereira, Dell Inc. Asia Pacific and Japan
server platform business manager, told reporters that their
PowerEdge R900 is a four-socket quad-core server. It had been
designed from the very beginning to run mission-critical databases
and programs in businesses and other organizations with large and
extensive computer networks.
He added that its robust capabilities also made
it ideal for the general computing needs of large enterprise
networks.
Pereira, who flew from Singapore for the launch,
said the PowerEdge R900 uses the new Intel Xeon 5400 series
processors, which run applications faster than servers using the
immediately preceding series of Intel Xeon 5300 processors.
Pereira further claimed that the PowerEdge R900
server could generate up to 25-percent savings in power consumption.
At the same time, its Trusted Platform Module assured enhanced
security for critical information stored in it.
Pereira also added that customization of the
PowerEdge R900 would be done by Dell’s factory in Penang,
Malaysia. This would be done through arrangements with any of the
vendor’s Philippine distributors, namely: Accent Micro
Technologies, Integrated Computer Systems, Inc., MDi, Nexus
Technologies Inc. and Philippine Data Systems.
