The Xserve G5 offers compute power in a feature-dense 1U server with dual 64-bit G5 processors at speeds of up to 2.3GHz. An award-winning UNIX-based server operating system with unlimited clients, up to 1.5TB storage, PCI-X expansion, dual Gigabit Ethernet, fast I/O ports and an optical drive let Xserve G5 serve your every need. Get enterprise-class features and stability starting at $2999.
The advanced G5 architecture provides an industry-leading front-side bus dedicated to each CPU as well as up to 16GB DDR SDRAM with ECC protection. That’s room enough to hold entire data sets in memory, whether you’re processing nanoscale electronics, rendering movies or caching websites. In addition, Xserve G5 features dual Gigabit Ethernet on the motherboard, which, combined with the high bandwidth system controller, means you won’t get contention between your network traffic and other I/O.
Efficiency PaysAnd all that power won't heat up your server closet nearly as much as the competition. Even at 2.3 GHz, the advanced G5 processor consumes at most 55W per processor. Compare that to 89W for an Opteron or 110W for a Xeon. The Xserve G5 consumes less power from the wall, you get lower heat output into your data center, reducing its cooling needs. That results in lower HVAC bills, or lets you put more Xserve G5 servers in the same amount of space for the same cost. An added bonus, lower power draws make for longer run-times on UPS systems, if configured.
UNIX-based Power Comes StandardDesigned to deliver the UNIX-based strengths and cutting-edge capabilities of Mac OS X Server, this rack-optimized server offers phenomenal processing power, massive storage capacity — up to 1.5TB — and remote management tools that make it a snap to deploy and maintain. Add Xserve RAID to hold up to 7TB of data.
The elegantly engineered companion to Apple’s highly regarded Xserve line of server hardware, this cutting-edge, self-contained storage solution holds up to 14 hot-swappable Apple Drive Modules — a phenomenal 7TB of data — in a rack-optimized storage enclosure.
Xserve RAID features a breakthrough Apple-designed architecture that combines affordable, high-capacity Ultra ATA drive technology with an industry standard 2Gb Fibre Channel interface for reliable — and incredibly fast — data access. Xserve RAID is hands-down the best value in external RAID storage. Xserve RAID works well with Mac OS X Server, and you can use it with Windows-, Linux- or NetWare-based servers as well.
High Yield, Low Cost
Do the math: the gigabyte-per-dollar ratio of Xserve RAID is the best in the world for Fibre Channel storage, and trumps most SCSI storage solutions as well. Xserve RAID offers up to 7TB of high-performance redundant storage at under $2 per gigabyte — a fraction of the cost of storage from Dell, HP, Sun or IBM. The days of seemingly unlimited IT budgets are long gone — no more blank checks for digital asset management — so as an IT professional, you need to cut costs, without cutting corners. For that reason alone, we think you’ll appreciate our pragmatic approach to help you save huge amounts of data — as well as a nice chunk of change.
