Acer Altos server<br />
family<br />
Globalisation <strong>and</strong> a highly-competitive fast-moving <strong>business</strong> world has dramatically<br />
increased <strong>the</strong> need <strong>for</strong> more efficient <strong>and</strong> manageable IT structures made<br />
up of highly scalable <strong>and</strong> exp<strong>and</strong>able server systems. Acer, in line with its<br />
commitment to provide total computing solutions to <strong>the</strong> commercial <strong>business</strong><br />
sector, provides a range of Altos servers that include systems <strong>for</strong> workgroup,<br />
departmental, <strong>and</strong> enterprise environments.<br />
<strong>Scalability</strong> <strong>and</strong> Exp<strong>and</strong>ability<br />
From single CPU entry-level to multiple CPU enterprise-ready systems, in st<strong>and</strong>alone<br />
tower chassis or rack-mounted, <strong>the</strong>re’s a high-quality Altos server especially<br />
designed to meet your company’s rapid <strong>growth</strong> requirements. A wide range<br />
of peripherals, storage devices, as well as networking <strong>and</strong> communications products<br />
complete <strong>the</strong> end-to-end solutions provided by <strong>the</strong> Altos server range.<br />
Compatibility <strong>and</strong> Security<br />
The Acer Altos server range is certified with all industry st<strong>and</strong>ard operating<br />
systems. These include Windows NT <strong>and</strong> Windows 2000 server, Linux, Caldera<br />
(SCO) Unix, <strong>and</strong> Novell NetWare. The systems are protected against unauthorized<br />
access by lockable casings <strong>and</strong> racks, as well as by password-protected<br />
setup <strong>and</strong> power systems.<br />
Reliability <strong>and</strong> Manageability<br />
Fault-tolerant features, error checking <strong>and</strong> correcting modules, <strong>and</strong> hot-swappable<br />
storage devices are only some of <strong>the</strong> Altos server features that maximise efficiency, minimise<br />
downtime, <strong>and</strong> contribute to low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).The reliability<br />
of Acer’s Altos servers is fur<strong>the</strong>r enhanced by incorporated RAID subsystems<br />
which ensure data protection at <strong>the</strong> highest levels. Advanced management<br />
tools, which includes among o<strong>the</strong>rs Acer’s very own Advanced Server Manager<br />
(ASM) software, facilitate system administration <strong>and</strong> monitoring.<br />
• Acer ASM<br />
The Acer Advanced Server Manager (ASM), st<strong>and</strong>ard delivered with every Altos<br />
server, makes it easy to manage <strong>and</strong> monitor <strong>the</strong> system. In addition to basic in<strong>for</strong>mation,<br />
in-depth details on processor per<strong>for</strong>mance, memory utilisation, file<br />
system, disk <strong>and</strong> Network Interface Card (NIC) utilisation, NIC fault, OS <strong>and</strong> resources<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation, are also provided.<br />
The complete ASM package consist of two key elements :<br />
a) ASM-Agent<br />
This is a non-stop program that collects in<strong>for</strong>mation about <strong>the</strong> server - not only basic<br />
data but also system health status - <strong>and</strong> transmits it to <strong>the</strong> ASM station.<br />
b) ASM-Station<br />
A Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT or Windows 2000 workstation-<br />
based ASM-Station can be installed in any network. Communication with<br />
<strong>the</strong> ASM-Agent is carried out through industry-st<strong>and</strong>ard Simple Network Mana-<br />
gement Protocol (SNMP), supporting any agents running under Windows ® NT<br />
<strong>and</strong> Windows ® 2000 server, Novell NetWare <strong>and</strong> Caldera (SCO) Unix.<br />
From this workstation, system administrators can define network, query server<br />
operations, set threshold levels, <strong>and</strong> locate potential problems.<br />
• Fault Management<br />
The ASM-Station’s fault management interface defines <strong>the</strong> actions required<br />
when user-defined or pre-set threshold values are exceeded, or when hardware<br />
errors are detected by <strong>the</strong> special ASM hardware circuitry.<br />
• System Alert Manager<br />
This is a utility that runs in <strong>the</strong> background of <strong>the</strong> ASM Console system every<br />
time it boots up. It actively monitors <strong>the</strong> systems in <strong>the</strong> network <strong>for</strong> faults <strong>and</strong><br />
malfunctions, warning <strong>the</strong> administrator if <strong>and</strong> when <strong>the</strong>y occur.<br />
• Event Logging<br />
The ASM-Station keeps a record of each event that occurs in <strong>the</strong> networked<br />
systems. Errors or faults during <strong>the</strong> event are also registered in this file. A viewer<br />
allows <strong>the</strong> administrator to see all <strong>the</strong> events logged.
Acer Altos Server Family<br />
Management Tools<br />
Per<strong>for</strong>mance Management<br />
The ASM-Station allows <strong>the</strong> system administrator to check <strong>and</strong> set per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />
criteria <strong>for</strong> each server on <strong>the</strong> network, issuing an alarm when pre-set thresholds<br />
are reached, thus enabling <strong>the</strong> administrator to deal with <strong>the</strong> problem be<strong>for</strong>e it<br />
becomes critical.<br />
The monitored per<strong>for</strong>mance data includes:<br />
• Basic system in<strong>for</strong>mation on <strong>the</strong> system itself, mainboard, BIOS, memory, <strong>and</strong><br />
system administrator.<br />
• DMI in<strong>for</strong>mation which includes DMI bios, mainboard, processor, memory, cache,<br />
slot, connector, <strong>and</strong> onboard device.<br />
• I/O in<strong>for</strong>mation on devices such as serial ports, PS2 mouse, parallel port, <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> video card of <strong>the</strong> monitored server.<br />
• In<strong>for</strong>mation on storage devices hard disks, CD-ROM, <strong>and</strong> floppy disk.<br />
• In<strong>for</strong>mation on NIC devices.<br />
• Health in<strong>for</strong>mation of IPMI-supported devices such as sensors (CPU voltage <strong>and</strong> temperature,<br />
system voltage, fan, chassis <strong>and</strong> RDM status), <strong>and</strong> System Event Log (SEL).<br />
• In<strong>for</strong>mation on all <strong>the</strong> resources of <strong>the</strong> server machine, including IRQ, DMA,<br />
I/O port, <strong>and</strong> memory address.<br />
• In<strong>for</strong>mation on CPU per<strong>for</strong>mance (up to 4 CPU’s).<br />
• Memory utilisation in<strong>for</strong>mation (threshold setting may also be changed from<br />
<strong>the</strong> ASM Console).<br />
• File system utilisation (threshold setting may also be changed from <strong>the</strong> ASM<br />
Console).<br />
• Disk utilisation in<strong>for</strong>mation, including disk efficiency <strong>and</strong> per<strong>for</strong>mance, of SCO<br />
Open Server <strong>and</strong> Windows NT/2000 (only).<br />
• Network Interface Card (NIC) in<strong>for</strong>mation which includes data transmission<br />
<strong>and</strong> utilisation.<br />
• NIC fault occurred during data transmission.<br />
• OS in<strong>for</strong>mation, including connected users, drivers, processes, installed software,<br />
NT services, <strong>and</strong> environment variables.<br />
Configuration Management<br />
Through <strong>the</strong> use of sophisticated hardware <strong>and</strong> software interfaces, Acer’s Advanced<br />
Server Manager Pro collects <strong>and</strong> displays <strong>the</strong> details about each server’s<br />
hardware, software <strong>and</strong> BIOS configuration, including:<br />
• System in<strong>for</strong>mation - details <strong>the</strong> specific Acer server model, name <strong>and</strong><br />
location, operating system <strong>and</strong> version, number of logged-on users, network<br />
address <strong>and</strong> drivers currently in use.<br />
• System configuration - Includes details of hardware <strong>and</strong> BIOS levels,<br />
processor type, I/O slots <strong>and</strong> devices, memory layout, interrupt use, DMA channel<br />
assignments <strong>and</strong> CPU cache.<br />
• I/O devices - Specifies input/output devices <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir connections to <strong>the</strong> server,<br />
in addition to keyboard <strong>and</strong> video adapters <strong>and</strong> serial <strong>and</strong> parallel I/O ports.<br />
• Storage in<strong>for</strong>mation - Lists each fixed disk attached to <strong>the</strong> server, including<br />
<strong>the</strong> controller model <strong>and</strong> type, as well as each disk drive model, type <strong>and</strong> size.<br />
• Network Interface card in<strong>for</strong>mation - Lists each network interface card installed<br />
in <strong>the</strong> server along with <strong>the</strong> type, model, slot where it is installed, <strong>the</strong><br />
assigned interrupt, I/O port <strong>and</strong> base memory address.<br />
Security<br />
The ASM Pro has a built in security subsystem that prevents inadvertent or<br />
malicious use of <strong>the</strong> ASM-Pro facilities. Password security on both ASM-Station<br />
<strong>and</strong> ASM-Agent blocks access to <strong>and</strong> modification of critical server data to<br />
unauthorised system personnel.
WebASM<br />
WebASM takes system management a stage fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />
by providing Web-based SNMP server management<br />
tools to monitor Acer Altos server systems with <strong>the</strong><br />
ASM Pro Agent installed. This allows system administrators<br />
to monitor <strong>and</strong> manage system per<strong>for</strong>mance<br />
<strong>and</strong> monitor status from a remote console through a <strong>web</strong> browser via an Internet<br />
or Intranet environment, thus broadening <strong>the</strong> scope of system management <strong>and</strong><br />
monitoring access across a network.<br />
Remote Diagnostic Manager<br />
The Remote Diagnostic Manager <strong>and</strong> its companion product, Advance Server<br />
Manager Pro, provide all <strong>the</strong> tools you need to monitor <strong>the</strong> health of your server,<br />
also remotely.<br />
RDM consists of five major components: <strong>the</strong> RDM hardware module, software<br />
driver, server BIOS, hidden partition <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> RDM-Station software. These components<br />
combine to provide a rapid recovery system overcoming <strong>the</strong> distance<br />
barriers between <strong>the</strong> central computing <strong>site</strong> <strong>and</strong> its distributed servers. If a server<br />
fails, <strong>the</strong> RDM module provides <strong>the</strong> connection between hardware <strong>and</strong> software<br />
to monitor server operation <strong>and</strong> begin <strong>the</strong> notification process.<br />
The RDM can assist in diagnosing problems <strong>and</strong> restoring <strong>the</strong> server to operation<br />
in all but <strong>the</strong> most severe failures.<br />

Manageability<br />
In order to keep <strong>the</strong> storage subsystem running smoothly <strong>and</strong> hassle-free, <strong>the</strong> Altos<br />
RS710 comes fully equipped with 2 manageability software packages:<br />
• Advanced System Manager (ASM) Pro<br />
This software ensures that servers <strong>and</strong> storage systems are fully monitored at all<br />
times. ASM Pro alerts MIS when <strong>the</strong> system is down, enabling administrators to<br />
take action to prevent system failure <strong>and</strong> resulting damage.<br />
ASM Pro also provides superior task-intensive capability <strong>for</strong> asset, security, per<strong>for</strong>mance,<br />
remote, configuration <strong>and</strong> security management, as well as multi-plat<strong>for</strong>m<br />
support <strong>and</strong> Integrated Remote Diagnostic Manager.<br />
And, in <strong>the</strong> event of a system crash, <strong>the</strong> emergency BIOS management takes<br />
control <strong>and</strong> automatically pages a designated MIS agent or activates Wait/Smart<br />
reboot modes - depending on <strong>the</strong> administrator’s preference.<br />
• Acer Rack Manager<br />

The Acer Altos 1200LP is an exceptionally powerful 1U hardware plat<strong>for</strong>m with<br />
up to two CPUs per unit. Ideal <strong>for</strong> powerful <strong>web</strong> content it is packed into <strong>the</strong><br />
least rack space. By stacking several Altos 1200LP servers, Internet Service Providers<br />
(ISPs), Application Service Providers (ASPs), <strong>and</strong> large corporations can<br />
overcome network bottlenecks <strong>for</strong> dramatically increased per<strong>for</strong>mance.<br />
Web Essentials<br />
When traffic exceeds current capacity load balancing becomes a problem. The Altos<br />
1200LP provides exceptional flexibility <strong>and</strong> scalability, as more processing power<br />
can be obtained simply by adding extra units to <strong>the</strong> system, delivering redundancy<br />
<strong>for</strong> increased data security.<br />

error-correction RAM <strong>and</strong> high-throughput cooling, providing today’s e-<strong>business</strong> corporations<br />
lightening operational speeds.<br />
Balancing <strong>the</strong> Load<br />
At times of unpredictably high dem<strong>and</strong>, effective load balancing is critical. By<br />
employing two or more Altos 1200LP servers, requests can be shared between<br />
units, increasing capacity <strong>for</strong> faster response times. With a rack of Altos 1200LP<br />
servers, <strong>business</strong>es can provide all <strong>the</strong> service <strong>the</strong>ir customers may dem<strong>and</strong>.<br />
Cache Counts<br />
At times of heavy dem<strong>and</strong>, network per<strong>for</strong>mance can be eroded swiftly. By storing<br />
<strong>the</strong> most commonly used files at <strong>the</strong> front-end of <strong>the</strong> network, a rack of Altos<br />
1200LP servers provides fast response times <strong>and</strong> frees up b<strong>and</strong>width at <strong>the</strong><br />
back-end of <strong>the</strong> network.<br />
So, not only is in<strong>for</strong>mation readily available, saving valuable b<strong>and</strong>width resources, it<br />
is delivered at lightening speeds.<br />

ChipKill makes it safe<br />
Permanent data loss from memory chip failure carries <strong>the</strong> threat of untold<br />
system damage. The ability to provide protection from multi-bit errors has, traditionally,<br />
only been available within <strong>the</strong> mainframe environment. As more <strong>and</strong><br />
more commercial environments implement PC servers in areas <strong>for</strong>merly occupied<br />
by mainframe-scale systems, however, <strong>the</strong> need <strong>for</strong> enhanced memory protection<br />
has become increasingly critical.<br />
ChipKill technology protects <strong>the</strong> Altos 22000 from single memory chip failure,<br />
as well as multi-bit errors. Additionally, while Chipkill technology has previously<br />
only been available on specially designed DIMM modules <strong>the</strong>mselves, <strong>the</strong> Altos<br />
22000 has built <strong>the</strong> protection directly into <strong>the</strong> memory architecture, providing<br />
users with <strong>the</strong> convenience of st<strong>and</strong>ard DIMM modules without sacrificing<br />
Chipkill’s superior system memory protection.<br />
