New Rugged Server Is Portable Anywhere, Under Any Condition

Broadax Systems, Inc. announced the immediate availability of their PServer R9, a truly portable server that brings rack mount system power to the road. This unique system is a self-contained, highly reliable rugged server built with dual 2.8GHz Intel Xeon processors, up to 12GB double data rate (DDR) PC3200 SDRAM, and four drive bays for 7,200 or 10,000 RPM hard drives, DVD, DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW drives. Each system can be configured for the user's unique needs.

The ultra-rugged multi-slot PServer R9 transports ultra-server power, reliability and redundancy to any field environment or portable application. Just as a portable laptop but rugged enough to survive military field deployment, the server's aluminum alloy chassis accommodates an extended ATX form-factor motherboard able to resist jarring, shocking extremes. The unit enjoys up to 2.8 GHz processing power using dual Intel Xeon CPU's working in unison and/or redundantly. Extending this power, the PServer R9 can be configured with 12 GB of DDR SDRAM making the unit as powerful as any desk or rack server.

The PServer R9 deploys four isolated drive bays that can support a single or multiple hard drives and a variety of optical disk drives including DVD, DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW. Disk configurations include three 7,200RPM ATA-100 IDE SCSI HDD or three 10,000RPM SCSI HDD, both configurable for RAID 0,1 or 5 with an optional hardware IDE RAID card that supports hardware RAID 0, 1, 5 or 5+1.

Each system includes a large flat panel display, detachable keyboard with touch pad, and amplified speakers. Display options include a 15" 1280x1024 500nit sunlit-readable SVGA or a 15.4" or 17" 1280 x 1024 SVGA display. The PServer R9 accommodates a built-in digital conversion board allowing users to incorporate third party video cards. Available for this feature are 8MB integrated ATI graphics controller, GeForce4 128MB MGP card, 16MB PCI graphics card and 32MB 3Dlabs Oxygen VXI PCI graphics card.

Other features of the PServer R9 include a network ready dual port 100 Base Tx or 1000 Base Tx network interface card (NIC), a full range of 400 Watt ATX and DC power supplies for flexible input power, three 64-Bit PCI card slots for application flexibility and a padded transit case for added safety.
