General Dynamics Offers New Tadpole Computer Servers
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
General Dynamics C4 Systems is now offering the new Tadpole VM2000
mobile server/workstation and VR2000 rack-mount server to government
and commercial users who require high-performance, enterprise-level,
network computing in mobile and space-constrained environments.
The company said the servers enable complex computing services to users
over distributed networks, while the small form-factor occupies
40-percent less depth in a standard 19-inch rack. General Dynamics C4
Systems is a business unit of General Dynamics.
The Tadpole VM2000 portable server/workstation enables computational
and memory-intensive network server operations while simultaneously
functioning as a workstation with an integrated display, keyboard and
track pad. The Tadpole VR2000 rack-mount server enables users to
quickly establish and manage computer infrastructure and networks,
which supports such functions as virtualization and streamlined
provisioning of server-based applications and services. Both servers
are compatible with either Microsoft Vista or Red Hat Linux 5 operating
systems.
"Now more than ever, the technology infrastructure used by industry and
government must be as mobile and flexible as the people who use it,"
said Steve Shanck, vice president of Tadpole Sales and Marketing for
General Dynamics C4 Systems. "These affordable, high-performance,
plug-and-play computing solutions accelerate productivity and raise the
bar for enterprise computing flexibility and versatility on-the-move."
The Tadpole VM2000 server/workstation and VR2000 rack-mount servers use
AMD Opteron processors to reduce power consumption by 30 percent when
compared to standard AMD processors and enable 2.6 GHz processing speed
to accommodate complex computing operations or access to high volumes
of memory intensive, digitally-stored data. Two removable SATA disk
drives efficiently transfer data between computers and mass-storage
devices such as hard-disk drives and optical drives. Integrated dual,
fully independent, Gigabit Ethernet ports enable the servers to connect
and operate on multiple networks.
The Tadpole VM2000 server/workstation is 5.1 inches high by 14.3 inches
deep and 19.4 inches wide and weighs 25 pounds.
The Tadpole VR2000 rack-mount server is 3.4 inches high by 14.3 inches
deep and 17.4 inches wide and weighs 20 pounds. It is designed to fit
in a 2U rack space.
The Tadpole VM2000 and VR2000 are immediately available.
