1. MHz measures microprocessor internal clock speed, not application performance. Many factors affect application performance.
2. This information for SAP is a guide only. Refer to the IBM SAP R/3 Advanced Sizing and Planning Questionnaires at: www.ibm.com/pc/europe/configurators , or
to your IBM representative, for more information.
3. When referring to hard disk drive capacity, GB equals one billion bytes. Total user accessible capacity may vary depending on operating environments.
4. 8500R - with a Rack-to-Tower kit installed.
Procedure for Server Selection Guidance Chart
File and Print numbers are Novell Netware-based with all others based on Microsoft Windows NT
. Other Networking Operating System (NOS) results could vary.
Extensive SAP sizings are available from IBM/SAP Competency Centres. Contact your IBM Marketing Representative for additional information
.
Step 1: Determine which application row most closely represents the customer’s environment.
Step 2: Move from left to right along the row (chosen in Step 1) noting which columns contain numbers that are equal to or greater than the maximum customer’s
planned number of users.
Step 3: Move up the columns (chosen in Step 2) to the top row to determine which IBM xSeries or Netfinity Servers should be considered as possible solutions.
Step 4: Evaluate other features such as storage, memory capacity, high availability components, number of available expansion slots, etc., which are unique to each
server, in order to determine which is the most appropriate to recommend.
For your reference, configuration information corresponding to the number of users is also provided.
