The Intel® Modular Server enables business in a box with seamless installation, migration, and growth capabilities. It has the ability to support up to six Server Compute Modules and fourteen SAS 2.5" hard disk drives, as well as two Ethernet Switch Modules, integrated SAN, and a Management Module. The Intel Modular Server is a flexible and powerful system for the small to midsize business.

Practical, day-to-day benefits include

Increased IT uptime	Redundant systems increase network uptime with failovers between servers and backups.
Easy application migration	Shared storage and virtual drives provide for easy application and storage migration.
Grow-As-You-Go flexibility	With options for up to six Server Compute Modules and up to fourteen storage drives, purchase only as much as you need when you need it.
Greater asset utilization	Diskless Server Compute Modules allow for maximum use of system assets.
Unique serviceability	Hot-swappable components don't require any cables or tools to service.
Ease of Management	One integrated system with end-to-end management lets you manage the entire system from a Web-based GUI interface.
Improved data protection	Centralized backup and virtual access allow for greater data protection.

Features and benefits

Scalable server compute capacity	Supports up to six Multi-Core Intel® Xeon® dual processor-based Server Compute Modules.
Virtual, integrated shared storage	Diskless Server Compute Modules utilize the integrated SAN with virtual drives to increase flexibility and maximize storage capacity. Purchase only what you need, when you need it.
Virtual presence GUI management	Manage your system as if you were standing right in front of it with the Virtual Presence GUI Management Interface.
Integrated networking	Dual Gb Ethernet switches offer ten 1 GbE uplinks per module.
Full redundancy & hot swap capabilities	Hot-swappable Server Compute Modules and storage drives let you increase capacity on-demand. Redundant modules and hot spare options improve IT availability of the Intel Modular Server.
Flexible power options	Chassis power supplies can utilize 100-240V power, eliminating special power requirements worldwide. The consolidated power and cooling features reduce operating costs.
