Intel Xserves shipping

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Nov 14th, 2006



We mentioned before that the new Intel Xserves were shipping in mid-November. If you check you calendar you will notice that it pretty much is mid-November right now, and yes the Intel Xserves are shipping. The Apple Store reports that a base configuration Xserve will ship in 3 to 5 business days.

If anyone out there has ordered on of these babies feel free to take some unpacking pics and send 'em our way.

Thanks, Brandon.

New Intel Xserve Quad Xeon available for pre-order, shipping mid-November

by Laurie A. Duncan (RSS feed) on Oct 25th, 2006



Although Apple's new quad core Intel-based Xserve was expected to ship this month, it'll be a few more weeks before they get them out the door. But you can pre-order yours now and there a dizzying array of build-to-order (BTO) options available to keep you busy (and broke) for a while.

The quad Xserve uses two 64-bit Dual Core Xeon "Woodcrest" microprocessors and is available in speeds up to 3GHz (dual core). Three drive bays (for SATA or SAS modules), eight DIMM slots, two PCI Express slots, one optical drive, two USB 2.0 ports, two FireWire 800 ports, one DB9 serial port, dual Gigabit Ethernet and a hot-swappable 650 watt PSU option all make for a pretty sweet rack. Don't forget the unlimited-client Mac OS X Server license that comes with it!

Base config starts at $2999. Affordable even for the likes of a lowly blogger. Once you start adding those BTO options, however, it quickly climbs to second mortgage or corporate credit card with a high limit territory, which is to be expected for a beast of this nature. Still, it's fun to configure a $75,000 server every now and then, don't you agree?

Thanks Evan, Alex and all the others who sent this in!

Xserve with Quad 64-bit Xeon

by Scott McNulty (RSS feed) on Aug 7th, 2006



Along with the new Mac Pro Apple introduced some swanky new Xserves that have me drooling. Scheduled to be available in October these things sport 2 Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5100 processors (up to 3 Ghz), up to 32 Gigs of ECC FB-DIMM memory, 1.33GHz frontside bus per processor, 4MB shared L2 cache per processor, and two eight-lane PCI Express expansion slots. These things can also have up to 2.25 TB of onboard storage. They also have redundant power supplies (that was the sound of many sys admins rejoicing).

The Xserve also boasts having the first Intel ready version of Tiger server (you get an unlimited client version with an Xserve).

All of this for a starting price of $2,999.
