Boston's Value Series 125 has recently been reviewed by PC PRO. Here's what they had to say...
Intel's latest Atom C2000 processors are aimed firmly at microservers, and in this exclusive review we look at the first server to sport this low-power chip. Offered as a low-cost, entry-level server, Boston's Value Series 125 is a good fit for the Atom: its 1U chassis is a mere 10in deep - and it recorded the lowest power consumption we've yet seen.
Codenamed Avoton, the C2000 Atoms are a vast improvement on the S1200 Centerton chips. They also use a SoC design, but a fab drop to 22nm means they can pack in more hardware, as well as reduce power consumption.
The C2000 SoC has two DDR3 memory channels, supporting up to 1,600MHz speeds and four PCI Express 2 controllers. It has two SATA III and four SATA II ports for direct links to storage, plus quads of Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.
Conclusion
A space-saving rack server with the power to run a range of business apps at minimal running cost
