Chapter 2. IBM PC Server Family Overview
The IBM PC Server family contains three product lines which offer different
features and capabilities:
•
The PC Server 300 series
This series is targeted at small enterprises or workgroup LANs. These
machines offer leading technology and are very price competitive. They are
more limited in terms of upgrade and expansion capabilities than the other
two lines in the family.
•
The PC Server 500 series
This series is targeted for medium to large enterprises who need more
power and more expansion capabilities. With 22 storage bays available (18
of which are hot swappable), these machines are very suitable for the
enterprise workhorse server.
•
The PC Server 700 series
The PC Server 720 is the only model in this line at the current time. It is a
super server
targeted for customers who need the maximum computing
power in a PC server environment. With its multiprocessing capability, it is
very suitable for the application server environment. It offers state of the art
technology and also has wide expansion capabilities.
Figure 21 shows the products in relation to one another.
