New transtec server with cutting-edge SAS technology and latest Intel Paxville Xeon processors

Tübingen-based system manufacturer first to offer a 1-U SAS system with Paxville processors

Tübingen, 11 October 2005.
With its new 1001 1-U Server featuring path-breaking SAS drive technology and Intel Paxville dual-core processors transtec once again demonstrates its ability to provide state-of-the-art solutions.

The brand-new dual-core, hyperthreaded Paxville Xeon XP CPUs is the latest additions to Intel’s high-end server processor line. They offer improved multithreading for better server performance while at the same time reducing power consumption. Dual-core Hyper-Threading technology allows applications to run on four threads simultaneously, providing fifty to sixty percent faster execution than previous models. To take full advantage of the power of the new Intel processors the transtec 1001 Server is equipped with cutting-edge SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) drive-interface technology. SAS overcomes the architectural limitations of the parallel SCSI interface while retaining SCSI commands for backwards compatibility. Its ability to host both SAS and SATA hard drives while bridging traditional SCSI architecture gives designers unprecedented flexibility and provides lower per-gibabyte costs.

The space-saving 1-U transtec 1001 Server was conceived for applications that place a premium on performance, availability and utilisation of rack capacity.
