greenServer™ Small Office / Home Office Server

The greenServer system is designed for use as a small office / home office (SOHO) server. Disk storage for data and applications is configurable from 320GB to 1TB (1,000GB), and an internal CD / DVD read-write drive is available as an option (we suggest you use an external USB CD or DVD drive for energy saving reasons). Power consumption during idle and casual use is a low 30 watts, with the maximum power consumption of the greenServer well below the idle power consumption of many of our competitors' products.

The greenServer system is based on the low-power Intel® Atom® processor. The Atom® 330 processor contains dual cores, with each core supporting 2 hyperthreads, for a total of 4 executing threads. Combined with our performance-enhancing disk drive systems, the greenServer provides performance consistent with higher power systems, but at 25% or less of the energy consumption[1].

The base greenServer system configuration is an Intel Atom 330 processor, integrated video, integrated Intel High Definition Audio, 2GB 533MHz DDR2 RAM, 320GB RAID 0 (striped) disk storage for applications and data, a 160GB disk for operating system installation, 2 1 Gigabit / second Ethernet interfaces, front panel USB-based card reader, and the Gentoo Linux™ operating system. An internal DVD / CD reader / writer with LightScribe support is available as an upgrade option (we recommend an external DVD / CD drive for energy saving reasons). For Microsoft® operating system users, we make Windows XP®, Windows Vista® and Windows® Small Business Server 2003 available as installed options.
