Small Business Server Solutions
Whether looking for your company’s first server, adding to a growing server base, or upgrading an existing server, the AMD Opteron™ processor is the smart choice to power small business servers.
Flexible
The AMD Opteron processor is designed to enable 64-bit computing while remaining compatible with the vast 32-bit software infrastructure. Plus, it is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit OSs and has interoperability with thousands of x86 software applications.
Scalable
Spanning from 1P/2-core up to 8P/16-core across a single architecture, the AMD Opteron processor supports your growing business while allowing you to standardize and streamline IT support requirements and to scale as your business demands require.
Upgradeable
AMD Opteron processors with DDR2 are designed to offer seamless upgradeability to Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors, helping leverage existing investments and providing improvements in application performance and performance-per-watt.
Protection
ECC (Error Correcting Code) protection for L1 cache data, L2 cache data and tags, and DRAM with hardware scrubbing of all ECC protected arrays.
Secure
Built into AMD64 technology, Enhanced Virus Protection* helps prevent the spread of certain malicious viruses and improves the integrity of office networks.
Industry-proven
More than 90% of the top 100 and more than 50% of the top 500 of the Forbes Global 2000 companies or their subsidiaries use AMD64 processor-based systems.

Web Serving/Terminal Services
Fast, reliable Web and application servers are crucial to the success of your growing business. You need a server you can depend on — a server powered by the AMD Opteron processor.
Efficient
With Direct Connect Architecture, the dual-core AMD Opteron processor helps reduce performance bottlenecks that can slow legacy systems. And because it is a true 64-bit solution, you can choose Windows®, Linux®, or Solaris operating systems to manage your infrastructure.
Powerful
Multi-core technology simplifies multi-tasking, which can help you provide multiple users access to one or more applications running on a single central server.
Cost-Effective
Minimize transition costs and maximize past investments in hardware, software, and personnel. Get the scalability, performance, and investment protection you need to make the most of your resources.
Virtualization
Cutting-edge small and medium businesses are using virtualization technologies to deliver Internet telephony (VoIP) services, provide backup and disaster recovery support, and otherwise extend their IT support capabilities.
When it comes to virtualization, hardware is key. And AMD Opteron processors feature native support for hardware-assisted AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™) technology.
With AMD Virtualization, you can do more with limited resources.
Consolidate
Host disparate workloads with a single server. Each workload sees its own operating system, middleware, and communications environment — as if on a virtual machine.
And while the virtual machines stand ready to respond to external requests, they consume very little machine resources or power in the absence of such requests.
Streamline
Instead of adapting and then testing code for a variety of operating system environments, developers can maintain a library of virtual machines corresponding to all the specific hardware and software environments on which their software runs.
Grow
Instead of waiting for new hardware to introduce new applications, you can add new virtual machines to an existing physical server.
Protect
Virtualization software environments can simplify the scheduling of planned hardware outages as well as the recovery from unplanned outages.

* Enhanced Virus Protection (EVP) is only enabled by certain operating systems, including the current versions of Microsoft® Windows®, Linux®, Solaris, and BSD Unix. After properly installing the appropriate operating system release, users must enable the protection of their applications and associated files from buffer overrun attacks. Consult your OS documentation for information on enabling EVP. Contact your application software vendor for information regarding use of the application in conjunction with EVP. AMD strongly recommends that users continue to include third-party antivirus software as part of their security strategy.
