Acer F2 Servers Support New Intel E5 Processors

By DE Editors

Acer  has updated its F2 server line to support the latest Intel Xeon processors E5 family, and has expanded its business portfolio and management tools to provide greater flexibility.

The new product designs feature Intel’s Xeon processor E5 family of CPUs, which provide up to two times the performance for certain benchmarks, and up to eight cores per CPU.

The new servers offer the same set of standard management tools (Smart Setup, Smart Console, Smart Server Manager and Smart Integration Pack)  and enhance the toolset with such features as remote BIOS/firmware updates and power monitoring. Acer has also integrated a power management tool kit as an add-on expansion for its own Smart Server Manager. This optional feature enables enterprise and datacenter customers to run power capping commands across Acer servers via a uniform interface to ensure each machine is providing the most optimal power-performance needed for mission-critical applications.
