PowerElf Black Edition Server Appliance with Dual Core, SMP Processing Up to Four Times Faster than previous model<\/b><\/p>\n

EDMONTON, Alberta – May 16 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Greencomputer Innovation, Ltd. today unveiled its new PowerElf(R) II Black Edition(TM) server appliance featuring a dual core Intel Pentium D processor which delivers up to four times the performance of the previous PowerElf model. The new “Black Edition” server can be configured with up to 3GB of dual-channel memory, hardware-based RAID mirror subsystem, dual Gigabit Ethernet network connectors and ships pre-loaded with the latest version of PE2\/OS(TM) operating system. Styling cues reveal black aluminum diamond-plate, an attractive brushed aluminum power button, efficient dual case fans; all found in a sleek new chassis. With unparalleled multi-core processing performance, low cost and ease of use, the server will provide excellent value for customers.<\/p>\n

The PowerElf II Black Edition is a professional-grade server appliance solution for small and medium size businesses (SMB) who require centralized Internet firewall security, intrusion detection, full web and email hosting, global antispam protection, company-wide virus scanning, VPN access, user or IP web content filtering, fast network access storage (NAS) and a multitude of other functions in one pre-configured and ultra-reliable package.<\/p>\n

“The PowerElf II Black Edition delivers the speed and power to process a huge amount of data, yet it comes in a very small and efficient form factor,” said Tyler Monroe, Business Development, Greencomputer Innovation. “With a proven history of rock-solid reliability and an unbeatable total cost of ownership, PowerElf has once again leveled the playing field for many small businesses.”<\/p>\n

Pushing the boundaries of server design<\/b><\/p>\n

For 2006, the PowerElf II Black Edition continues in the tradition of cutting-edge server designs from Greencomputer. While being the most understated PowerElf to-date, the new look is bold compared to back-end network equipment today. The series features a black powder coat finish that provides optimal resistance to scratching and peeling, providing durability for many years. Aluminum diamond-plate and a brushed-metal power button show off its industrial styling cues, without affecting reliability or functionality. Illuminating green light replaces the traditional LED, and may be turned off by the end-user, where excess ambient light can be bothersome. The illuminated ring around the power button indicates that the server is operational.<\/p>\n

Advanced networking technology made simple<\/b><\/p>\n

The appliance server can be set up in as little as 15 minutes. After plugging the unit in, the end-user answers some questions about their network layout and the server is operational. The PowerElf II is a non-complicated, robust server solution and is configured via a simple point-and-click interface through a web browser. It can even be administered by non-technical people because Greencomputer has taken the complexity out of network technology and made it simple.<\/p>\n
