In a rapidly changing IT world,
you want a server that enables you to adopt new technologies as they emerge.
As a growing business, you're looking to get new hardware up and running as
quickly as possible, making sure it fits into your existing network structure.
You demand a reliable and secure server with leading technology, superb performance
and outstanding flexibility. You need the all-new Acer Altos G300
A team player
As your company is growing you're looking at ways to improve your efficiency
and internal communication. Whether you're building a new company or expanding
an existing network, the Altos G300 offers you a winning solution. The Altos
G300 integrates the latest server technologies into a lockable system that is
ideally suited for companies that are looking to upgrading an existing system
or are looking to building a new network. The highly standardised and wide range
of components and operating systems supported means that installing the Altos
G300 is accomplished easily without extensive MIS support.
Geared to win
Acer has delivered a system for easy installation as well as ensuring ongoing
solid performance. In fact, while designing the Altos G300, we came up with
some nifty solutions. For the performance, we've used the latest Intel®
Pentium® 4 processors coupled with up to a huge 4GB of DDR-RAM and leading
ServerWorks® chipset to make sure that the Altos G300 can outperform your
expectations.
We also appreciate that small innovations
can often make the biggest differences, and there is one little idea that we're
rather proud of - the easily removable hard discs. The front of the Altos G300
is equipped with the Altos EasyStor™ removable HDD tray holding three
standard IDE or SCSI hard discs that can be easily pulled out and replaced without
opening up the chassis: This means that upgrading your storage is now a pleasure!
First off the blocks
At Acer, we aren't satisfied with just offering you the latest technology, we
also want to give you the tools to get ahead and stay ahead. Data security is
more important than ever, but SCSI RAID is both expensive and requires complicated
technology. So we offer integrated IDE-RAID as an option for easy-to-use data
security. Yet for those who are upgrading from an existing server, SCSI RAID
is also fully supported.
Taking a look at the longer-term
investment, standard on-board gigabit-LAN and 64-bit PCI slots mean you're ready
for any future expansion. Until then, you can also use your existing Fast Ethernet
setup, because the Altos G300 is fully backwards compatible.
The four 64-bit PCI slots mean that
your Altos G300 is just waiting for the newest PCI cards, and the 32-bit PCI
slot makes sure that your existing hardware is still as useful as always. That
gives you five free expansion slots, gigabit-LAN and RAID - a winning solution!
A perfect score
The team is only as good as the management, and with this in mind Acer has incorporated
useful management tools and features into the Altos G300. Acer's respected ASM
and EasyBUILD software packages make building and managing your solution as
easy as a few clicks of the mouse.
A manager also needs the team to
tell him if something is going wrong, and the Altos G300 does just that with
Altos EasyDiagnostics. If a problem occurs, the external warning LED alerts
you, giving you the time to find a solution. What's more, internal diagnostic
LEDs record the results of the Power on Self Test performed during start up,
enabling quick and easy interpretation of BIOS checks - the perfect score!
