“It’s a Jungle Out There”
“My business goes down
when my employees can’t
access their data.”
“I want to be able to add more
hard drives and scale my servers
when the time comes.”
“How can I control my cost
and get more productivity?”
“When can I see the return on
investment on the money I spend
now on new servers?”
“Which type of server is the
best for my applications?”
“Technology can make a
large company be more
agile, but technology can
also make a small company
look big.”
—Andrew Grove, Past CEO, President
Intel Corporation
Today’s Business Environment is Volatile, Your Needs Evolve,
but Technology Doesn’t Have to be Complicated

Technology is Your Ally, Today
More Than Ever
Save Money
Stay Competitive
Older Equipment
Can Cost You
Enhanced capabilities such
as automated processor
power adjustment and
remote systems
management pay for
themselves quickly.
Higher performing
machines help employees
get more done,
faster than ever before.
Older equipment is more
expensive to maintain, can
incur significant downtime,
and costs more to power.
Let’s See Why Investing in Server is a Smart Choice

Why a Server-based Network?
Client-based Networks
• Work when people are available
• Data resides on individual client
systems
• Local, insecure backup and slow
recovery
• No remote access capability for
employees
Server-based Networks
• Built to operate 24x7
• Enables shared access to data for
better collaboration
• Centralized, secure backup and
fast recovery
• Enables remote access for
employees, partners, customers
Router
Server-based Networks Deliver Business Uptime,
Better Collaboration, Reliability, and Data Protection

You May Think …
“My PC (or desktop-derived server) has been
very reliable.”
Response
As the volume of data you deal with
grows, your PC won’t allow you to
keep up. A real server based on the
Intel® Xeon® processor brings you the
peace of mind of:
• Always-present file storage and data
backup
• Integrity and security of your data
• Built-in reliability features with
automated memory error correction
• Business uptime

You May Think …
“Servers cost too much – I can just use a
desktop system.”
Response
This was true in the past. Today, entry
single socket servers typically start at
price points that are comparable to
desktop systems. Without a server,
how much will downtime cost you? A
server will deliver to your business:
• Improved reliability
• Reduced maintenance costs
• Better return on investment
The cost of downtime can quickly negate
any perceived savings from using a
desktop system.

Match Your Server to Your
Solution Needs
Other Deciding Factors
• Are you concerned about business uptime, data security, and data
protection?
• Does your business depend on data stored on a central computer?
• Do you need robust data backup?
• Do multiple users remotely access the same data?
• Does your staff share files across networked computers?
• Do you host your own Web site or engage in e-commerce?
• Are the volumes of e-mail and site visits you receive impacting
responsiveness?
• Do you plan to deploy Microsoft Windows Server 2008*?
If You Answer Yes
to the Majority of These
Questions, You Need a
2-socket-based Server
If You Answer Yes
to Only a Few of These
Questions, Consider a
1-socket-based Server

ECC Memory For Improved
Data Integrity
Problem: Memory Errors
• Servers may experience
hundreds of memory
errors per year*
• Errors can result in a system
crash or data corruption
• Memory error on financial
data, customer data, or
health records can be
disastrous
Solution: ECC
• Error Correcting Code (ECC)
memory corrects up to
99.988% of all memory
errors1
• Eliminates rebooting the
system to fix most errors
• Reduces server downtime and
minimizes corruption of
critical business data
How Would Corrupted Data Impact Your Business?

ECC Memory on Servers
The Solution for Memory Errors
How ECC Works
ECC Effectiveness
• ECC = Error Correcting Code
that allows systems to detect
and correct memory errors
• ECC corrects up to
99.988% of all memory
errors
• ECC can detect single and
multiple-bit memory errors
and correct single-bit errors
• Eliminates rebooting the
system to fix a single bit error
• Multiple-bit memory errors
are uncorrectable, but occur
very infrequently
• In a 2007 study, 8288
memory errors were detected
and fixed in 3 months in a
server farm with 212
servers1,2

Linux32 and Linux64 version 11.0
• Configuration details for 50% lower idle power: Intel internal measurements of 221W at idle with Supermicro 2xE5450
(3.0GHz 80W) processors, 8x2GB 667MHz FBDIMMs, 1x700W PSU, 1x320GB SATA hard drive vs. 111W at idle with
Supermicro software development platform with 2xE5540 (2.53GHz Nehalem 80W) processors, 6x2GB DDR3-1066 RDIMMs,
1x800W PSU, 1x150GB 10k SATA hard drive. Both systems were running Windows 2008 with USB suspend select enabled
and maximum power savings mode for PCIe link state power management. Measurements as of Feb 2009.

Eight Month ROI Claim – Backup
8 month ROI claim estimated based on comparison between 2S Single Core Intel® Xeon®
3.80 with 2M L2 Cache and 2S Intel® Xeon® X5570 based servers. Calculation includes
analysis based on performance, power, cooling, electricity rates, operating system annual
license costs and estimated server costs. This assumes 8kW racks, $0.10 per kWh, cooling
costs are 2x the server power consumption costs, operating system license cost of
$900/year per server, per server cost of $6900 based on estimated list prices and
estimated server utilization rates. All dollar figures are approximate. Performance and
power comparisons are based on measured SPECjbb2005* benchmark results (Intel
Corporation Feb 2009). Platform power was measured during the steady state window of
the benchmark run and at idle. Performance gain compared to baseline was 9x while the
platform power was 0.8x.
• Baseline platform: Intel server platform with two 64-bit Intel Xeon Processor 3.80Ghz with 2M L2
Cache, 800 FSB, 8x1GB DDR2-400 memory, 1 hard drive, 1 power supply, Microsoft* Windows*
