Acer's Small, Powerful Box
In April Acer made the AC100 available to U.S. resellers, and with it the prospect of an Intel Xeon E3-1200-based server with 6 TB of storage in four hot-swap 3.5-inch bays and 16 GB of memory in the corner of someone's desk. For $999 list, the AC100 also includes RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10, front and rear USB/eSATA ports, VGA output, one PCI-e x8 slot and Gigabit Ethernet, and is a good choice for a general-purpose file server for the small office. And in March, Acer unveiled the latest generation of its F2 servers with support for Intel Xeon E5 processors.
