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.
Workgroup Internet Server
An Internet server is a server that 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 like a file server does.
With this in mind, the IBM Netfinity 3000 was selected to provide an affordable price point for the growing Internet server market with Pentium III processing, 128MB of system
memory (expandable to 768MB), integrated 100/10 ethernet controller, high-performance storage, and power protection with an APC Smart-UPS. The configuration includes a tape
backup unit for secure backup of critical data in the event of a system or storage failure.
File & Print Server
A small business or departmental server is usually required to perform all typical server functions while servicing up to 50 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 IBM Netfinity 3000 with 128MB of memory
and 18.2GB 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 internal storage expansion still available. Demanding network traffic is effectively handled by the standard 100Mbps Ethernet connection.
This configuration also includes a tape backup unit, monitor, and a UPS to keep the system protected from power surges and outages.
