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
An Internet server handles all requests from the Internet (Intranet or Extranet). Usually this type of server has the same characteristics as a 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 one client, the Internet Service Provider (ISP), instead of many clients as a file server does.
With this in mind the xSeries 340 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 availability features such as RAID-protected internal hot-swap storage 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. The configuration includes a tape backup unit for secure backup of critical data in the event of a system or storage
failure.
Application Server
An application server is designed to handle a high workload while providing application serving requirements for users. With this in mind, the xSeries 340 was
selected to provide an affordable price point for an application server with two-way Pentium III processing, 384MB of system memory (expandable to 4GB), and
availability features such as battery-backed cache, RAID-protected internal hot-swap storage and power protection with an APC Smart-UPS.
