(InfoWorld) - Gateway will use Intel's Woodcrest chip to power three new midrange servers, including the E-9520T high-performance tower server and the E-9425R and E-9525R rack-mounted servers, all of which were due to be shown Thursday at the Intel Developer Forum trade show. Gateway will emphasize the systems' flexibility as a way to compete withÂ similar Woodcrest-powered serversÂ from Hewlett-Packard and IBM. Users can customize the Gateway servers for applications ranging from Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases to Exchange e-mail, Web servers and back-office functions for small and medium-size businesses. Gateway provides that flexibility by allowing each of the servers to run either one of two Woodcrest chips, based on a new, 65-nanometer architecture launched by Intel in June to compete with Opteron chips from Advanced Micro Devices. Users can pick from Intel's 1.6GHz Xeon 5110, 2.0GHZ Xeon 5130, or 3.0GHz Xeon 5160. Gateway had alsoÂ partnered with IntelÂ in August, using the related Conroe Core 2 Duo chip in a line of desktop PCs. Users can also host their hard-drive storage using both high-performance SAS (serial attached SCSI) and cost-efficient SATA II (serial ATA) hard drives in the same system. And IT administrators can remotely boot and troubleshoot the machines using the Web-based Gateway Lights Out system management function. Gateway plans to enhance that capability by the fourth quarter of 2006 with an optional LCD (liquid crystal diode) panel displaying the server's operating status, called the System Management Integrated LCD. Gateway is charging $2,199 for the E-9520T tower with room for 7.5TB of storage, $1,899 for the E-9525R 2U server with room for 4.5TB of storage, and $1,849 for the E-9425R 1U server with room for 3.0TB of storage. All three machines come with one Intel Xeon 5110 chip, the Intel Blackford 5000P chip set, Matrox G200 graphics card, and 35GB ofÂ memory.

The new Gateway will launch a complete line of notebook PCs as one of many steps to revitalize its business after&#160;merging with Acer, an Acer executive said Friday.&quot;Gateway&#39;s problem in the U.S. is that it mainly sells desktops, but the notebook is the fastest growing segment,&quot; said Gianfranco Lanci, president of Acer, during the company&#39;s third quarter investors conference in Taipei.New Gateway laptop PCs could be out as early as the first quarter of next year. Lanci said that no changes to Gateway&#39;s product lineup will be visible until then because it takes at least one quarter to discuss new products with retailers and distributors.Acquiring Gateway will raise Acer&#39;s share of the U.S. market to 11.7 percent, the company believes, and will give it a strong brand presence.Already, the company expects synergies from the acquisition to pan out better than previous forecasts. Acer predicts cost savings will reach $200 million, higher than a previous estimate of $150 million, and even the revised figure could be raised again, executives said.A large portion of that savings will come from volume discounts from component suppliers. &quot;When we have asked component suppliers for volume discounts, so far we have not encountered a single rejection,&quot; said Lanci.The cost of restructuring the Gateway business and integrating it into Acer is likely to be $30 million, Lanci said. The integration will likely be completed by March 2008, he said.The strategy of the new company will be to sell products under the Acer, Gateway, and eMachines brands. Once a&#160;deal to buy Europe&#39;s Packard Bell&#160;is completed, it will add that name to the list as well. The PC industry has changed, said Lanci. It has become a commodity business and in a commodity business it&#39;s better to&#160;sell products using multiple brands, not a single brand as in the PC industry of 10 years ago.&quot;We&#39;re going to run two brands in most regions plus maybe another that we use for special things,&quot; he said.Acer announced a plan to buy Gateway for $710 million in cash in August, and&#160;completed the deal&#160;last week. The company has nearly completed a deal to buy Packard Bell of Europe, as well.&#160;
