or IBM Marketing Representative for assistance with your specific configuration requirements.
High Availability Application Server
1. Six HDDs are used for RAID 5 protection. One HDD is identified as a hot-spare. Effective capacity is four HDDs or 72.8GB.
This rack server is configured to act as the foundation for business critical applications, applications your business cannot afford to be without. Configured with
enough HDDs to mirror the operating system and provide a standard RAID 5 environment for data, optional hot-swap redundant power and UPS for power even
during a blackout, this server represents the leading edge in high availability for Intel-architecture servers. An internal tape drive is included to back up that all
important asset--data. A modem could be included to allow out-of-band (non-LAN) system management utilizing the integrated Netfinity Advanced System
Management Processor.
Server Consolidation
1. Eight HDDs are used for RAID 5 protection. One HDD is identified as a hot-spare. Effective capacity is six HDDs or 109.2GB.
This rack server is configured to meet the need of server consolidation. Many businesses are trying to achieve better control of the dispersed departmental servers
that have grown up around the enterprise. By moving multiple servers on to one platform, there is only one system to manage both hardware and software. There is
potentially less expense for service, software licenses, etc., and there is less concern about single points of failure because the xSeries 250 is designed for high
availability. This configuration includes 109GB of internal HDD storage, features three power supplies which provide fully redundant power, a UPS to help protect the
system against a momentary electricity loss, and an internal tape drive that backs up as much as 80GB per tape--in addition to all the standard features of the
xSeries 250.
