Xeon Nehalem Dual Tower server Shopping Guide

Since Intel's current Xeon 5500 series processor is geared towards the dual market, its huge performance improvement over the previous generation makes it more suitable for users who have higher computing performance requirements, and this part of the user's focus on the server is mainly in the rack type, This series of reasons for the major server manufacturers in the introduction of new products are obviously more focused on the rack-type products, tower-style server products in the new market has not accounted for much of the share of the industry giant IBM this time did not launch the tower-type server products, Another heavyweight participant, Hewlett-Packard, has just launched 3 tower servers and has a gap in number with its rack-top products.

However, the tower server because of the low environmental requirements, more easily cooling and energy consumption more outstanding performance is favored by a lot of users, and today we want to bring you are now listed in several Xeon 5500 series of processors based on the introduction of the tower products.

Recommended Products: ASUS TS700-E6/RS8
Reference Price: 13990 RMB

Asus TS700-E6/RS8 is a subsidiary of ASUS Sixth generation of Green Server tower server products, in the positioning of products, with the first two products positioned in the more economical application of different, this product is oriented to the more high-end application needs.

Unlike the Intel 5500 chipset used by the top two products, Asus TS700-E6/RS8 uses a more comprehensive Intel 5520 chipset, which makes it more stable in high-end applications in the areas of network, I/O, and management. In the specific configuration, we introduced today to the Asus TS700-E6/RS8 provides an Intel Xeon E5506 processor, the processor dual quad core design, 2.13GHz clock, with 4M cache, QPI transmission speed 4.8gt/s. The product offers two processor slots, and users can purchase another processor to implement the extension if they want.
