Note: The following sample configurations are for illustration only and may not be suitable for any specific customer installation. Contact your IBM Business Partner or IBM
Marketing Representative for assistance with your specific configuration requirements.
Internet Server
1
An Internet server handles all requests from the Internet (Intranet or Extranet). Usually, this type of server has the same characteristics as a normal file server. The main difference is
that an internet server talks a different language (TCP/IP vs. NETBEUI or IPX/SPX) and often needs to do an extra security check (firewall). In the case of an Internet server, the
server itself talks mostly to just one client, the Internet Service Provider (ISP), instead of many clients as a file server does.
With this is mind, the xSeries 330 was selected to provide an affordable price point for the growing Internet server market with two-way Pentium III processing, 256MB of system
memory (expandable to 4GB), and power protection with an APC Smart-UPS.
The network configuration depends on the method that will be used to connect the server to the Internet. Usually fast Ethernet routers are used, but if other methods are used you can
add the appropriate adapter.
File and Print Server
1
A small business or departmental server is usually required to perform all typical server functions while servicing up to 100 users in a normal workgroup computing environment,
but doesn’t require the high-end performance and fault-tolerance properties of larger servers.
The sample configuration above consists of an xSeries 330 with 384MB of memory and 72.8GB of hard disk space. It has enough processor power and memory to run most current
network operating systems comfortably and enough hard disk drive space to store a significant amount of data with additional external storage expansion still available. Demanding
network traffic is effectively handled by the standard 100 Mbps Ethernet connection.
This configuration also includes a UPS to keep the system protected during power surges and outages.
Application Server
1
An application server differs from a file and print server in that it has a higher workload, in providing application serving requirements for users. With this in mind, the xSeries 330
was selected to provide an affordable price point for an application server, with two-way Pentium III processing, 512MB of system memory (expandable to 4GB), and availability
features such as RAID-protected internal storage and power protection with an APC Smart-UPS.
