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 300 with 384MB of memory and 72.8GB of HDD space. It has enough processor power and memory to run
most current network operating systems comfortably and enough HDD space to store a significant amount of data with additional external storage expansion still
available. Demanding network traffic is effectively handled by the standard 100Mbps Ethernet connection.
This configuration also includes a UPS to keep the system protected during power surges and outages.
Application Platform
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. As an appliance
platform, this server efficiently delivers task-specific solutions using a single application, e.g., Web hosting, Web caching, firewalls or gateways. With this in mind, the
xSeries 300 was selected to provide an affordable price point for an application server with Pentium III processing, 768MB of system memory (expandable to 1.5GB),
and availability features such as RAID-protected internal storage and power protection with an APC Smart-UPS.
