The FT5000 from
Mitsubishi Electric represents the next generation of mission critical servers, reaching
new heights in performance levels for demanding network applications, transaction
processing and line of business applications. This server also boasts a number of high resiliency features, including
clustering support as standard, to not only increase productivity but to also ensure your
valuable data remains available and intact, giving your business a competitive edge.
Processing Power
Available processing power is the essence of the FT5000.
The system board houses single, dual or quad
Pentium® II Xeon™ processors which offer the raw power and scalability to
fit the needs of every application. Peer bus architecture ensures that network traffic and
the LVDS (80mb/s) drive system have independent data busses so system bottlenecks are
avoided. All this power, coupled with the ability to support up to 4GB of memory, means
that this server is at home in even the most demanding network environment.
High Availability
No matter how powerful a server is, it needs to be equally equipped with data integrity
features. The FT5000 meets this requirement by offering a redundant 'hot-swap' |
power supply allowing
PSU failures to be replaced quickly and easily without interruption to the system.
Internal drives also support this 'hot-swap' facility, along with a high performance RAID
subsystem to protect data. Warm standby network cards ensure continuous connection to the
network, whilst a full set of redundant fans keep the system from overheating in the event
of a failure. The FT5000 also has
innovative support for 'fail-over' clustering as standard. By supporting both an external
SCSI in and SCSI out connector, the internal drive channels of two FT5000 servers may be
shared, this allows basic cluster support without any additional hardware cost.
Systems Management
Integrated server management allows total control of the server, with both 'in band' and
'out of band' management supported as standard.
Onboard controllers constantly monitor the
condition of the server hardware, reporting back to the software such information as
system voltages, temperatures, component degradation, fan speed and intrusion status.
Management software is taken care of with the
fully featured and easy to use ISC software (DMI and SNMP compliant), supported under
Microsoft Management Console™*, |
HP Openview™, CA
Unicentre™ or through a standard Internet browser. This allows the FT5000 to
seamlessly integrate into virtually any managed network infrastructure with minimum effort
and maximum versatility. The FT5000 also
supports an innovative EMP (emergency management port) facility, that allows secure,
remote dial up access, via an external modem*, even in the event of a complete systems
failure. The server can then be interrogated for component failure or rebooted and
restarted without the need for an onsite visit.
This level of control and manageability, all
supplied as standard, keeps the server up and running more often and more conveniently
allowing you to concentrate on your core business.
Computers for a
Connected World
The Apricot FT series is designed for a connected world. Multiple connectivity options
ensure that the business advantages of Internet, Intranet and Extranet technologies can be
fully exploited, allowing greater productivity and communications regardless of the size
of your organisation. With integrated ethernet, high-speed modem and ISDN options all
optimised to give simple, but effective connectivity to your local area network, or even
further afield to the World Wide Web, the electronic network that spans the globe.
