Product Information
Power for Today, Scalability for Tomorrow
SPARTAlx is the high-performance entry-level system in NeTpower's SPARTA family of Pentium Pro Windows NT-based servers. The SPARTAlx server is a cost-effective high availability system ideally suited for your web, enterprise, digital media, and MCAD applications. Whether used as the primary server for mid-sized organizations or as a departmental workgroup file/print, database, or Internet server, SPARTAlx provides the scalabilty, performance and reliability required for your business critical applications.

Maximum Performance and Expandability
With one or two 200MHz Pentium Pro processors each with 512KB of cache, and up to one gigabyte of memory, the SPARTAlx server has the capacity for high volume transaction processing and heavy client workloads in a compact, cost effective package. The standard system provides 10/100Mb per second Ethernet connectivity and Ultra Wide SCSI controllers and disk, which transfer data at 40MB per second. This is the kind of I/O bandwidth required to quickly service large numbers of demanding users simultaneously accessing a server. And with up to 40GB of internal storage, you are unlikely to outgrow this system.

High Availability and Reliability for Business-Critical Applications
The SPARTAlx server delivers the highest levels of reliability and redundancy while providing robust yet easy to use system management capabilities. The SPARTAlx server includes hot-swappable disks, the ability to mirror the system disk and recover from system disk failures, redundant power and cooling, error correcting memory, remote server management features, and integrated hardware and software RAID for system reliability. In addition, real time multi-system clustering and failover protection is available to provide near continuous system availability.

NeTcare—Industry Leading Service and Support
Each SPARTAlx server comes with Microsoft's Windows NT Server 4.0 operating system pre-installed and configured. To ensure reliability, every system is put through rigorous testing for five days and certification before shipment. This saves hours of installation and configuration time. All NeTpower SPARTAlx servers are delivered with ninety days free Windows NT operating system support and a three year on-site, next business day hardware warranty. NeTpower has a support team of dedicated professionals that can help you assess the scope of your project, recommend the best system solution, and help with installation. NeTpower also offers extended support options providing on-site hardware support and Windows NT expertise.
