Behind AnandTech - 2002 Server Upgrade

Final Words

With this upgrade we've moved to a set of servers that offers a performance density never previously seen in the enterprise market. This is one of the reasons that Appro's 1124 series has had such great success in the distributed computing market where performance density is quite important.

Not only does this setup offer incredible performance for its size but it's also much more affordable than what was available prior to AMD's entry into the server market.

As usual, we'll keep you updated on all of the server upgrades and other happenings behind the scenes at AnandTech. In the past you all have expressed interest in learning a bit more about the other facets of life behind AnandTech (the reviewing process, dealing with manufacturers, etc...); if that is indeed something you'd like to read more about, let us know and we'll make it happen. These articles don't take us long at all to put together so we'd be more than glad to give as much (or as little) insight as you'd like.

Thanks again for your continued support through everything.

Special Thanks

None of this would have been possible had it not been for our excellent host, Elite Internet Communications and their colocation datacenter with Stargate. If you're looking for a host, Elite is the best we have ever had and for those of you that have been long time visitors of AT you'll know that we've seen them all.
