Featured: Gemini Intel Atom 330 Dual Core Twin-1U Rackmount Servers

Two distinct Intel® Atom™ 330 servers, side by side in a single 1U rack

Extremely low power consumption due to high efficiency design (under 38W typical)

Atom 330 Twin Servers

Newly designed from the ground up, 45nm Intel® Atom™ 330 processors pack an astounding 47 million transistors on a single chip measuring less than 26mm², making them Intel's smallest and lowest power processors. All this while delivering the power and performance you need for full server capabilities.

We combine this processor and subsize motherboard into a server configuration optimized for low power consumption and efficient use of rackmount space.

Here's the stats:

  • Atom 330 Dual Core CPU
  • 1.6GHz / 512KB Cache
  • Intel DG945 Mainboard
  • 2 x 2.5" Hard Disks
  • Up to 2GB DDR2-800 RAM
  • 1U Rackmount Chassis
  • 220w 80-Plus Power Supply
  • Under 38W Power Consumption

Available in quantity for under $400!

Originally designed for use in embedded devices and netbooks, the Atom processor and architecture are proving to be an inspired choice for colocations. Several complete Atom-based machines can be purchased for far less than the cost of a single typical server.

Clustering can provide significant cost/performance benefits:

High-availability clusters (also known as Failover Clusters) are implemented primarily for the purpose of improving the availability of services which the cluster provides. They operate by having redundant nodes, which are then used to provide service when system components fail. The most common size for an HA cluster is two nodes, which is the minimum requirement to provide redundancy. HA cluster implementations attempt to use redundancy of cluster components to eliminate single points of failure. There are many commercial implementations of High-Availability clusters for many operating systems.
