SoftLayer Adds Speed With Xeon-based Dempsey and Woodcrest Servers

Dallas—September 19, 2006—On-demand hosting provider, SoftLayer Technologies, announced today that Intel Xeon-based servers with Dempsey and Woodcrest processors are now available. "We pride ourselves on consistently delivering best-in-class solutions to our customers," said Steven Canale, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at SoftLayer. "Not only are these new systems lightning fast, but we've also made them affordable."

According to Mr. Canale, the Xeon-based Dempsey servers are an extension of Intel's Netburst architecture featuring dual core technology. "With the Dempsey server line, we're offering great value for high performance. Single processor, dual core servers start at $179 per month while dual processor, dual core servers start at $249 per month."

SoftLayer also offers the Xeon-based Woodcrest servers. These servers incorporate a new architecture change from Intel and include 1333Mhz front side bus, fully buffered DIMMs for maximum RAM performance and PCI-E expansion for RAID applications.

Additionally, SoftLayer announced that dedicated KVM over IP comes standard with all Dempsey and Woodcrest servers. Other providers require customers to pay for this as a software upgrade service, but with SoftLayer, the dedicated KVM over IP is actually a free hardware upgrade.
