Acer Group has launched a new range of rackmountable servers – developed with rackmount specialist Rittal – aimed at entry to enterprise-level applications. The AcerAltos 500 and 1100 are low-end 350 to 450Mhz Pentium II boxes. The AlterAltos 11000 is aimed at departmental level use and has dual 450MHz Pentium II chips and up to 2Gb of 100MHz synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM). The 21000 server is intended for enterprise applications and supports up to four Pentium II Xeon processors and 4Gb of memory. In addition, Acer claims that the server’s performance has been made more efficient by an improved ‘scuzzy’ (SCSI) bus. Available now, the servers support NT, Netware 5, Unixware 7 and claimed to be Windows 2000 ready.
