Server Mania Announces New Dedicated Servers Based On The 8-core Intel Xeon D-1540 Processor

Toronto, ON (PRWEB)July 31, 2015 - Server Mania, an industry-leading dedicated and cloud hosting provider, has announced a new product line based on the Intel Xeon D-1500 series processor family, which provides the processing power of the 14nm Broadwell architecture and is ideal for a variety of workloads such as dynamic web serving, dedicated web hosting, warm storage, and network routing.

The Xeon D-1500 series represents Intel’s first Xeon-based System on a Chip, and includes integrated I/O circuitry and networking.

Server Mania customers can buy dedicated servers based on the 8-core Intel Xeon D-1540 processor. The base server configuration includes 32GB RAM, and one 1 TB SATA drive or one 120 GB solid-state drive. Customers can upgrade their storage at any time and add memory to a maximum of 128GB. Customers can also select a chassis model with four hard drive bays.

The Xeon D-1540 draws 45W of power, and has a base speed of 2.0GHz, all core turbo speed of 2.5GHz, and one core turbo speed of 2.6GHz.

Benchmark testing shows massive performance gains compared to the 8-core Intel Atom C2750 processor. The Intel Xeon D-1540 performed 78% better on the STREAM OpenMP benchmark for memory bandwidth, and 163% better on the SPEC CPU 2006 which measures intensive compute capabilities. In a test of its dynamic web serving capabilities, Xeon D-1500 series processors performed 240% better than the Intel Atom C2750, meaning more users can be served simultaneously without performance degradation.

“Compared to some of our legacy, single-core processors, the E3-1240v3 and E5-1600 series, switching to Intel Xeon D-1540 processors can provide huge performance gains,” said Chris Niedojadlo, COO of ServerMania. “By providing servers with the D-1540 at our data center facilities, we are able to provide a higher level of value to our clients through our additional services and support.”

Server Mania provides all dedicated servers customers 10 TB per month data transfer (upgradable to up to 50 TB per month), managed backup, and robust DDoS protectio n powered by enterprise-grade RioRey DDoS mitigation appliances. It also provides an industry leading 100% uptime SLA, and 24x7 technical support that responds within an average of 15 minutes.

Niedojadlo added, “We think the Intel Xeon D-1540 processor provides excellent performance as well as value. Providing this technology to our customers will help them run intensive applications more economically from our data centers, all while being backed by our experienced technicians and 100% uptime guarantee.”
