Acer America unveiled Intel's Xeon based Altos R701 with hyperthreading technology designed specifically for Internet and application service providers.

The server can handle up to a terabyte of storage using hot-pluggable hard drives. It has 12GB of DDR266 RAM and can work with several operating systems.

Companies having been trying to pack more power into smaller chassis. In March, Hewlett-Packard introduced a 2U server featuring four processors; Gateway and other companies are selling servers with Xeon processors.

"High-density computing in the Internet-enabled world requires a server that offers high performance while not becoming too hot in its rack system," Stephan Halland, vice president of Acer America's desktop and server business unit, said in a statement.

The company said the new product will be available through its resellers in North America for about $2,900.
