X is for Xeon.
Applied Innovations will shortly be unveiling its new "X" series of Intel dedicated server platforms.
All of the servers featuring the windows 2003 operation system will have the option to be managed. More information regarding managed dedicated hosting services can be found here: http://www.appliedi.net/dedicated-services
Here is what's to come--
Standard Line:
DS-C1:
Intel® Celeron® Processor 336 at 256K Cache, 2.8GHz, 533MHz FSB.
512 MB PC3200 DDR2 533 MHZ Memory.
80GB Ultra 150 Serial ATA 7200 RPM Drive.
The DS-C1 has been part of our family and has been a very successful platform for years. Perfect for a NAS or a server to develop on.
DS-PDC:
Dual Core Intel® Pentium®D 915, 2x2MB Cache, 2.8GHz, 800MHz FSB.
1 GB PC3200 DDR2 533 MHz Memory.
2 X 80GB Ultra 150 Serial ATA 7200 RPM Drives.
The DS-PDC can easily power any site alongside MS SQL 2005 on the same installation of windows (I suggest you upgrade to 2 GB Of RAM for this setup). You can also use this server to host multiple domains powered by a control panel such as Helm or Plesk.
DS-PDCr:
Dual Core Intel® Pentium®D 925, 2x2MB Cache, 3.0GHz, 800MHz FSB.
1 GB PC3200 DDR2 533 MHz Memory.
2 X 80GB, SATA, 3.5-inch, 7.2K RPM Hard Drive.
Rackmounted server.
Same as the DS-PDC. However, this configuration offers the benefits of a rack mounted server.
Enterprise Line:
DS-X1:
Dual Core Intel® Xeon® 5050, 2x2MB Cache, 3.00GHz, 667MHz FSB.
1GB 667MHz (2x512MB), Single Ranked DIMM's.
2 x 73GB, SAS, 3.5-inch, 10K RPM Hard Drive.
The DS-X1 will power a site with a mid amount of traffic with no problem at all. Should your needs grow there is no need to migrate to another hardware platform. Simply snap in a 2nd CPU (reboot required) as this server offers dual CPU support.
DS-X2:
2 x Dual Core Intel® Xeon® 5050, 2x2MB Cache, 3.00GHz, 667MHz FSB.
1GB 667MHz (2x512MB), Single Ranked DIMM's.
2 x 73GB, SAS, 3.5-inch, 10K RPM Hard Drive.
This server meets the perfect demand for a scenario running MS SQL 2005 alongside IIS6 (*60-70 concurrent users). At least 2 GB of RAM is recommenced for this setup.
DS-X4:
2 x Quad Core Intel® Xeon® 5050, 2x2MB Cache, 3.00GHz, 667MHz FSB.
1GB 667MHz (2x512MB), Single Ranked DIMM's.
2 x 73GB, SAS, 3.5-inch, 10K RPM Hard Drive.
When your application demands this type of power it probably means that you have reached High Availability requirements as well. This can easily be done with NLB on the web server side and clustering or failover on the MS SQL 2005 side.
