Intel® Server Systems

SR1500AL, SR1550AL and SR2500AL

The Intel® Server Systems SR1500AL,

SR1550AL and SR2500AL

A Family of Rack-optimized Highly integrated Server Systems designed for Flexible, High-density Server Solutions

Product Overview

This is Intel’s latest generation of enterprise-level, rack- optimized system level solutions. Processing power, reliable memory infrastructure, and redundant networking are critical requirements in growing companies, as well as higher ﬂexibility in data storage and security.

The rack-optimized systems from Intel provide different levels of power and cooling redundancy and ﬂexible storage solutions including 2.5”/3.5” SATA or SAS drives, as well as support for both tape drives and optical drives. These systems designed for space-constrained environments are optimized in either a 1U, 1U with redundant power or a 2U form-factor.

• The 1U systems are designed for organizations running

front-end Internet, Web-hosting and HPC applications

• The 2U systems handle more demanding departmental

database, datacenter and other high-transaction applications

The Intel® Server Systems SR1500AL, S1550AL and SR2500AL each include the Intel® Server Essentials CD pack, a suite of software applications that are designed to help reduce the complexity of deploying and managing Intel Server Systems.

The Intel® Server Essentials CD pack is comprised of Intel®

Deployment Assistant, a graphical tool aimed at simplifying the process of deploying an Intel server, and Intel®

System Management Software, a comprehensive software suite designed to provide local and remote sever management functionality for businesses of all sizes.

This family of systems is also designed for increased uptime and toolless serviceability. Over

10,000+ hours of testing and validation were done, not only with other building blocks from Intel, but also with third party peripherals and memory to assure compatibility and reliability.

Features and Beneﬁts

Balanced server platforms based on dual-core Intel® Xeon® Processors offer the following:

• Dual-core processing multiplies server performance by doubling processing ability on a single chip, without increasing power consumption.

• Dual independent bus architecture enables dedicated data ﬂow to each processor, maximizing system performance.

• Fully buffered DIMM memory increases capacity and memory bandwidth to keep pace with the processor and I/O performance enhancements.

• Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology 5 extends the amount of available server memory.

• Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (Intel® I/OAT) is a platform innovation that helps get network data to and from server applications faster, while consuming far fewer CPU cycles.

• Intel® Virtualization Technology 6 turns a physical server into multiple systems

(virtual machines) allowing multiple operating systems and applications to run inside a single platform.

• Execute Disable Bit 7 reduces exposure to viruses and prevents harmful software from executing on the server or network.

• Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology allows processors to adjust their operating speeds to meet varying performance needs, while balancing power consumption.

5 Intel® EM64T requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® EM64T. Processor will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel® EM64T-

enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software conﬁgurations. See www.intel.com/info/em64t for more information including details on which processors support Intel® EM64T or consult with your

system vendor for more information.

6 Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and for some uses, certain platform software enabled

for it. Functionality, performance or other beneﬁts will vary depending on hardware and software conﬁgurations. Intel Virtualization Technology-enabled BIOS and VMM applications are

currently in development.

7 Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires a PC with a processor with Execute Disable Bit capability and a supporting operating system. Check with your PC manufacturer on

whether your system delivers Execute Disable Bit functionality.
