Acer is entering the professional workstation market with the
Veriton P series and new Altos servers.
The new workstations and servers support a wide range of computing
configurations and feature the Intel Xeon E3 and E5 processors,
ECC1 memory, RAID2 support, and backup components.
The new Veriton P Series Workstations have been designed for
everyhthing from small offices to large scale corporations and
public organizations and pack NVIDIA?s professional 3D and 2D
graphics cards with support across the Intel range of Xeon
processors.
The new Altos line carries management tools and software including
the Acer Smart Setup, Smart Console and Smart Server Manager and
features such as iKVM.NET. Specific models are capable of storing
up to the industry maximum of 24 hard drives and supporting
numerous applications to address different usage scenarios.
"To better match customer needs and shorten order lead time, the
Veriton P workstations and Altos servers will be final-assembled on
the regional level to provide more flexibility in producing an
increased range of build-to-order options and to avoid the
unnecessary purchase of costly, yet unused, hardware," said Evis
Lin, Associate Vice President of Acer?s Enterprise Products BU.
Acer has also begun to test and develop a wide range of proven
solutions for its customers throughout the global regions,
including those for thin/zero clients, cloud computing,
virtualization and high-performance technical computing. Acer?s
commercial offering currently includes building an
international-scale supercomputer with clients from the automotive
and financial services industries.
The new Veriton P workstations and Altos servers will be available
during the second quarter of 2013 with general availability varying
by region.
