The Planet-EV1Servers Adds High-Performance Systems

November 16, 2006; 12:21 AM

Providing customers with server choices to meet their most processing-intensive requirements, The Planet-EV1Servers today announced the addition of three high-performance servers to its world-class data center line-up. Just in time for the e-commerce holiday avalanche, the new servers provide advanced options for companies that anticipate increased traffic.  The servers are available in the company’s seven computing centers located in both Houston and Dallas. 

The Dell PowerEdge 840 servers offer up to 66 percent increased performance from previous generations, making this server family especially ideal for running multiple applications, including file serving, e-mail and databases.  Through a selection of options, customers can configure servers to meet the needs of their developing businesses or extend the breadth of their growing operations.

“The holiday season requires customers to manage their hosting operations at absolute peak performance,” said Steve Kahan, vice president of marketing for The Planet-EV1Servers.  “Our new high-end server line-up provides capabilities required for high-intensity, database-driven Web sites where volume traffic loads require uninterrupted performance.  Most importantly, we provide our customers with a tremendous price/performance equation to meet their specific business requirements.”
