Modular I/O Ideal for Networking, Security and Storage Appliances
SINGAPORE, April 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Flextronics today unveiled its
new G700 Quad-Core platform for OEM and ODM designs. The scalable
G700 utilizes the Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor E5335 and
the Intel(R) 5000P chipset and maximizes available PCI Express I/O
through modularity. "We developed a flexible rackmount platform
containing two Quad-Core Intel(R) processors for customers seeking
a high-performance, scalable solution for various networking,
security and storage appliance applications," said Sean Burke,
President of Flextronics' Computing Segment. "With its modular I/O
approach, OEM and ODM customers can increase value to end users and
offer various G700 models with options for gigabit Ethernet (copper
and fiber), 10GbE, Infiniband, storage, security acceleration for
IPSec and SSL and many more modular options." Burke added, "Today's
announcement underscores our commitment to provide OEM and ODM
customers with the right platforms and technologies to increase
their competitiveness in a dynamic market. Flextronics' ability to
design and manufacture Intel Architecture based motherboards and
solutions supports our strategy to deliver enhanced services to our
customers, and reinforces our position as a leader in advanced ODM
and EMS products and services for customer branded systems and
solutions." "The availability of innovative systems with the latest
Intel technologies, such as the Flextronics G700 platform, means
that OEM/ODM customers can build high performance systems and get
to market very quickly," said Joe Jensen, General Manager of
Intel's Embedded Markets Division. "The Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R)
processor doubles the compute density over previous dual-core
Intel(R) processors to meet the needs of intensive workloads in
network, security and storage appliance applications." The G700
includes eight cores per platform, which provides breakthrough
performance and energy-efficiency for high performance network
appliance and security appliance applications such as firewalls,
unified threat management, intrusion detection systems, network
attached storage and other filtering applications. A G700 based on
the Quad-Core Intel(R) Xeon(R) processor and associated Intel
(R)5000P chipset also provides an excellent solution for intense
computing and I/O-intensive workloads within high-end
communications and enterprise systems. This includes rack-mount
servers, as well as NAS and SAN systems and other graphics
intensive workstation environments in modeling, imaging and design
environments. The superior performance is available off-the-shelf
as the G700 base system or highly customized version specific to
OEM/ODM customer requirements. The G700 features Intel(R) I/O
Acceleration Technology, Intel(R) 64 Architecture, and Intel(R)
Virtualization Technology in a 2U chassis with hot swappable fans,
powers supplies, and removable Hard Drives. About Flextronics
