Acer announces the support for the latest Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v2 series processor across its line of high  performance Altos  servers and Veriton Workstations starting September 2013. With up to 50% more  cores per processor, lower thermal design power (TDP), and improved clock speeds, the new  line of Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v2 processors offers extraordinary performance for  companies and researchers alike.

“Our professional line up of Altos  servers is a cornerstone of our renewed focus on the commercial marketplace,”  stated Evis Lin, AVP of Commercial Products and Solutions Management at Acer. “Now with complete   support of Intel’s high-performance Xeon E5-2600 v2 CPUs, the Altos line is  positioned perfectly to capitalize on channel and data center markets.”

Acer’s Altos line of professional  server products offers robust functionality, best-in-class time to market, and  scalable performance to meet a wide range of customer demands. Not only  performance minded, the Altos servers can be configured based on customer  demands with form factors that emphasize density and power savings, as well as other form   factors to meet data-intense demands. Acer also offers its own management software, Acer Smart  Server Manager, free of charge, enabling customers to simultaneously manage and rollout updates across multiple  systems.

This year’s newly announced Veriton  P330 F2 and P530 F2 workstations will also support the next generation Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v2 series processors for amazing computing  performance, and power up to  24 cores and up to two GPUs in a single, library-quiet design. Paired with  already strong 3D rendering capabilities, the Veriton workstations offer   balanced performance so designers can enjoy smooth visuals as well as quick  response for simulation, rendering and engineering.

Dylan Larson, Director of Xeon Product  Marketing, for Intel’s Data Center and Connected Systems Group, emphasized that, “Acer has been a long-term partner,  and we are excited to see the advancements the company is making in the commercial space. Going  beyond hardware, Acer’s new focus on solutions development and flexible  business models are powerful additions to the Xeon product line and the  customers they serve.”
