Dual-port Gigabit Ethernet transceiver
National Semiconductor has announced the DP83862, a low-cost, highly integrated dual-port 10/100/1000 physical layer transceiver.
Measuring just 178 x 102 x 13mm, this server on a card comes complete with CPU, RAM, IDE, USB, Ethernet, SVGA, and an integrated gigabit network to the PCIbus.
The SlotServer 1000 allows up to 18 additional computers that can run independently of each other or as a cluster within one standard computer system, expanding server capacity and functionality, while saving significant space and energy.
Slot server/blade technology is becoming more common.
OmniCluster's technology is unlike other slot servers because: it is built to industry standards and is compatible with virtually all operating systems; users do not have to reconfigure existing rack space or purchase new systems, thereby maximising their original investment; and the OmniCluster SlotServer has 90% lower power consumption than conventional servers.
