HiTest Notes for Lotus Domino Windows NT Prioris MX

2–7

During the DIGITAL HiTest process, System Management Server was used to manage the

systems. The system management station does not provide for remote management of the

application.

There were no manageability problems discovered during the testing of this HiTest Suite.

Price Range

The purchase price of a system is only one factor affecting affordability. The cost of staff,

space, maintenance, and upgrade also affect the cost of ownership. The system value is

determined by comparing these costs to the total benefit and deriving the return on

investment (ROI). Because these costs and the benefits are unique to each customer, the ROI

can best be determined by a joint customer and sales person team.

Figure 2-2 shows the approximate list price (U.S. dollars) for the minimum and maximum

HiTest Systems that can be configured from the Lotus Domino Windows NT Prioris MX

HiTest Suite. These prices were effective as of January 20, 1998. The price range can vary

significantly over time and with the inclusion of service packages, consulting, country-

specific prices, and other factors.

The DIGITAL Prioris MX 6200 system provides high performance at a low price for today's

demanding communications applications. Systems configured from this HiTest Suite make

powerful yet affordable office automation servers for the workgroup or small department.

Scalability

For this HiTest Suite, scalability can be described in two ways. In terms of hardware,

scalability refers to the additional hardware components that can be added to a system within

and beyond the HiTest configuration. In terms of performance, scalability refers to the

workload capability of the HiTest configuration.

Additional Hardware Components

Systems that are configured from this HiTest Suite can easily be upgraded both within and

beyond the ranges specified in the Suite.

In Figure 2-3, hardware scalability for this Suite is illustrated in terms of memory, number of

CPUs, and disk space. Within the limits set for the enclosures called for in this HiTest Suite,

comparisons are shown for the minimum and maximum limits of the system configuration.
