Apple has announced the release of a new generation of XServe servers which comes with Intel’s newest Xeon processor based on the award winning Nehalem Core. The single processor version of the server starts at £2339 in the UK and $2999 in the United States while the 8-core, dual socket model costs £2879 or $3599 across the pond.
Both Xserve are rack mounted models - as it is usuallly the case - and comes with one or two 2.26GHz Quad Core Xeon (supporting up to 2.93GHz models), 3GB RAM, a 160GB SATA hard disk drive (Up to 3TB can be stored in a 1U package) and Mac OSX Server 10.5 Unlimited Client Edition. Users will be able to add a 128GB SSD (for an additional $500/£375) to the Xserve without having to take up a drive bay which will not only provide the system administrator with much faster random access seek time but also consumes way less power than traditional spinning hard drives.
