Dell PowerEdge 830 [Review, TrustedReviews]
Introducing Dell’s range of performance pedestal servers, the latest PowerEdge 830 is aimed at a wide range of applications including remote offices and workgroups, or small businesses looking for their first server but with a bit more power on tap. It brings in support for Intel’s Pentium D processor which offers the bonus of dual-core processing but at a similar price to standard Pentium 4 based systems.
As we’ve come to expect from Dell the 830 is very well built. Its solid steel chassis looks up to the job of small office duties and physical security is better than most as the front panel can be key locked which also blocks access to the side panel thumbscrew. Removing the side panel reveals a reasonably tidy interior although it’s not as clean as Armari’s DC945G Server. The loose IDE and power cables do increase internal clutter but we found access to all key components was generally unimpeded. Mon, 17 Oct, 2005 | 14 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
No More Apple Mysteries, Part Two [Article, AnandTech]
A little bit more than a month ago, AnandTech published "No more mysteries: Apple's G5 versus x86, Mac OS X versus Linux" with the ambitious goal of finding out how the Apple platform compares, performance-wise, to the x86 PC platform. The objective was to find out how much faster or slower the Apple machines were compared to their PC alternatives in a variety of server and workstation applications.
Some of the results were very surprising and caught the attention of millions of AnandTech readers. We found out that the Apple platform was a winner when it came to workstation applications, but there were serious performance problems when you run server applications such as MySQL (Relational Database) or Apache (Webserver). The MySQL database running on Mac OS X and the Dual G5 was up to 10 times slower than on the Dual Opteron running Linux. Mon, 05 Sep, 2005 | 6 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Armari DC945G Server [Review, TrustedReviews]
The Pentium 4 processor may be aimed primarily at PCs and workstations but it’s made a significant impact over the past couple of years in the entry-level server market as well. Small businesses looking for a simple solution for handling file and print services plus email and web serving don’t want to pay a premium for Xeon-based systems. At this level the P4 has carved more than a niche for itself as it offers a cost-effective alternative with more than enough power to handle these types of tasks. It stands to reason that Intel’s dual-core Pentium D is an ideal candidate for the very same applications and the Armari DC945G Server on review is a prime example as it delivers two processors close to the price of one.

AK-Systems Thin Client [Review, Digit Life]
Briefly, a thin client is a stand-alone diskless device equipped with a power supply unit. It is connected to input equipment (keyboard, mouse, smart card reader etc.) and to output equipment (monitor, printer, speakers etc.) The client is meant for input and delivery of information to a server and for output of information received from the server. A terminal is connected to a server via a local Ethernet through a modem or serial transmission lines. Thu, 10 Apr, 2003 | 40 Click(s) | Detail

Newisys 1U Dual Opteron Server [Preview, amdzone]
AMD has long courted the Fortune 500 and Enterprise market. With the Athlon they finally made headway into servers, but real enterprise wins eluded them. Now on the eve of Opteron AMD finally seems to have a chance. Newisys has hit full stride after two years working on their enterprise class Opteron solutions. Can they be to AMD what Serverworks was/is to Intel? We investigate the company and their first product to try and answer this question.
