Xserve® and Xserve RAID Storage System

Xserve is a rack-mount server product designed for simple setup and remote management of intensive input/output (I/O) applications such as digital video, high-resolution digital imagery, and large databases. In November 2006, the Company began shipping Xserve, a 64-bit server featuring Mac OS® X Server 10.4 on two Intel Xeon dual-core processors running at 2.0GHz, 2.66GHz, or 3.0GHz, with support for up to 32GB of memory. Xserve includes PCI Express and independent 1.33GHz front side buses with 4MB of shared Level 2 memory cache. Two eight-lane PCI Express expansion slots provide up to 2GB of

throughput each to support fibre channel, networking, and graphics cards. Xserve supports up to 2.25TB of hot-plug storage. The Company’s Xserve RAID storage system delivers up to 7TB of storage capacity and also expanded support for heterogeneous environments. The dual independent RAID controllers with 512MB cache per controller offer sustained throughput of over 385 Mbps.

Xserve® and Xserve RAID Storage System

Xserve is a rack-mount server product designed for simple setup and remote management of intensive I/O applications such as digital video, high-resolution digital imagery, and large databases. In January 2005, the Company upgraded Xserve G5, which is now available with either a single 2.0GHz or dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5 processor. Xserve G5 includes a system controller with up to 16GB of PC3200 error correcting code memory; three hot-plug Serial ATA drive modules that deliver up to 1.5TB of storage; and dual on-board Gigabit Ethernet for high-performance networking. The Company’s Xserve RAID storage system was updated in September 2005 to deliver up to 7 terabytes of storage capacity and also expanded support for heterogeneous environments. The dual independent RAID controllers with 512MB cache per controller offer sustained throughput of over 385 Mbps—high enough to support  media production environments using protected RAID level 5.

Xserve® and Xserve RAID Storage System

Xserve, the Company's first ever rack-mount server product, was designed for simple setup and remote management of intensive input/output (I/O) applications such as digital video, high-resolution digital imagery, and large databases. In February 2003, the Company upgraded its Xserve 1U rack servers with more powerful processors, more storage capacity, and a FireWire 800 interface. At the same time, the Company introduced the Xserve RAID Storage System, a rack storage system that holds up to 14 hot-swapable drive modules capable of holding up to 3.5 terabytes of data. Xserve RAID architecture combines affordable, high-capacity ATA/100 drive technology with a Fibre Channel interface for reliable and fast data access. Xserve RAID provides RAID level 5 throughput that supports affordable real-time high definition (HD) 1080i video editing.
