Intergraph Computer Systems Announces New Zx10 Servers with Wahoo Technology for High-Performance Prepress Applications
BOSTON, Feb. 9, 2000 - New Zx10 Servers with Intel Pentium III processors running at 750 MHz and 733 MHz delivers new levels of power, performance, and productivity Intergraph Computer Systems (Nasdaq:INGR)(booth No. 305) at Seybold Publishing 2000 in Boston today announced its new Zx Server(TM) family along with its debut products--the new Zx10 Server in Ultra-Tower(TM) or rackmount configurations--based on Intergraph's revolutionary new Wahoo Technology(TM). Powered by single or dual Intel(R) Pentium(R) III processors running at 750 and 733 MHz, the Zx10 Servers combine the industry's most cost effective processor power with unmatched system throughput, delivering a robust, high-performance solution for Windows NT-based prepress and publishing applications. In LAN tests measuring server throughput to a network of Mac workstations, the new Zx10 achieved an astounding 63 MB/sec aggregate data transfer (equivalent benchmark tests on current generation high-performance servers only achieves 40 MB/sec.) This performance surpasses quad Xeon processor-based servers that struggle to achieve 40 MB/sec. When this performance increase is multiplied over many devices in a production environment, the results can equal tremendous productivity gains for prepress facilities.

The new Zx10 Servers are available in several configurations, each targeting specific aspects of the prepress and publishing workflow. For instance, a sleek Ultra-Tower version of the Zx10 Server powered by Pentium III 750 MHz processors is ideal for high-performance RIP serving. For high-end production applications such as OPI, file serving, and image management, the Zx10 High-Availability Server comes in a 6U rackmount or deskside configuration with fail-safe reliability features such as redundant power supplies and hot swap hard drives. All Zx10 Server configurations offer the industry's most extensive system bandwidth via Intergraph's Wahoo Technology, eliminating workflow bottlenecks and delivering new levels of power, performance and productivity for prepress and publishing professionals.

"The new Zx10 Servers are by far the most powerful prepress solutions available, both for customers on the front lines of the prepress workflow, as well as our software partners who need a reliable, high-performance platform for their turnkey solutions," said Bruce Sholes, executive director of the Publishing and Prepress Division, Intergraph Computer Systems. "By offering the Zx10 Server in several configurations, Intergraph Computer Systems offers a cost-effective way for customers to deploy the Zx10 for a variety of tasks in their workflow."

Flexible Server Configurations

Intergraph offers a choice of high-performance configurations, including the Zx10 Ultra-Tower with Pentium III 750 or 733 MHz processors and the Zx10 High-Availability in a 6U rackmount or deskside configuration with Pentium III 733 processors for stacking multiple Zx10s, for flexible implementation. Intergraph's complete server family consists of:

  • New! Zx10 Server: Specially designed for RIP software used in small- to large-scale film and computer-to-plate environments, this server is pre-cabled for up to five 9 GB or 18 GB disks to accommodate "hot folder" and "CMYK-plus-systems drive" workflows. The Wahoo Technology-based server is available in Ultra-Tower chassis configurations with single or dual Pentium III 750 MHz / 100 MHz FSB (front side bus) or 733 MHz / 133 MHz FSB processors.

  • New! Zx10 High-Availability Server: The Zx10 High-Availability Server offers hot-swappable RAID and redundant power supply capabilities for mission-critical environments. These high-availability features combined with the extreme throughput of the Zx10's Wahoo Technology make the Zx10 High-Availability Server the ideal platform for high-volume production prepress applications. The system is available in 6U rackmount and deskside configurations with single or dual Pentium III 733 MHz / 133 MHz FSB processors.

  • Zx1 Server: The Zx1 Server is an affordable, non-Wahoo Technology-based server available in the Ultra-Tower chassis with single or dual Pentium III 600 MHz or 700 MHz processors.

  • InterServe 9400: With Intergraph's previous-generation InterServe family, the InterServe 9400 offers up to four Pentium III Xeon processors. Though not based on Wahoo Technology, the InterServe 9400 is still highly competitive in performance and price compared to other quad-processor servers on the market.

    Pricing and Availability

    Available in February, Intergraph's new Zx10 Ultra-Tower Server with Wahoo Technology and a single Pentium III 750 MHz processor starts at $4699 (U.S.). The new Wahoo Technology-based Zx10 High-Availability Server in a 6U rackmount or deskside chassis with a single Pentium III 733 MHz processor is available in March starting at $6339 (U.S.).
