How can a real server benefit my business?A real server based on the Intel® XeonTM processor

has more of everything that’s critical to your business:

Dependability. Server downtime is business down-

time, which means lost productivity and revenue. A real

server based on the Intel® XeonTM processor is designed

to keep your business up and running and provide the

security and quality you expect. Ensure both employees

and customers can get the information they need when

they need it.

Value. A real server with two Intel Xeon processors

delivers real cost advantages, including improved pro-

ductivity, lower operating costs, and lower maintenance

costs, for a higher return on your IT investment.

Room to grow. As your business continues to grow,

your computing demands increase. A real server based

on the Intel Xeon processor has greater capacity to

handle higher office workload demands and allows you

to enhance your platform as your business needs expand.

Performance. With a real server based on the

Intel Xeon processor, you can trust that your

business investments are protected. A real

server has the performance and capa-

bilities to service your business’

needs today and tomorrow.

Why can’t I use a fast PC as a server?There’s more to server capability than processor speed.

Powerful Intel Xeon processors are essential. Your business

also needs the dependability, expandability, and total value

that a real server provides. A real server is designed to

support multiple users, carry heavy loads, and provide

reliability. The cost of downtime quickly negates any

perceived savings from buying a desktop PC.

Can I afford the downtime?You might ask, “Why buy a real server based on the

Intel Xeon processor when I can use a PC as a server

and simply replace it if it fails?” The answer is the high

cost of downtime. When a machine is being used by

multiple employees – and customers – for Internet trans-

actions, database transactions, e-mail, Web serving, and

other business-critical chores, the cost of that machine

going down is very high – using the Network Buyers Guide*

Network Server Downtime Opportunity Cost Analysis Tool,

the downtime cost estimate can be more than $4,000

per hour for a typical small business1. That’s not counting

the cost of lost business and goodwill when customers

can’t get the answers they need. Before you can swap

in another PC, your losses could be substantial.

Take the lead with real servers based on Intel® Server ProductsBusiness today is more challenging than ever. Everyone is looking for ways to get ahead and increase

profits in a tough economy. You need to trim costs and do more with less, while still serving customers

and reaching new ones.

One way to do more and boost your bottom line is to move your business to a real server. By that we

mean a robust, dual-processor, expandable computer designed to serve multiple users and run shared

applications. PCs have their place – on individual workers’ desks. But real servers belong in your back

office, where they deliver more dependability, value, growing room and performance to your business.
