HiTest
Systems configured within this range involve tradeoffs
between these, and sometimes other components.
Systems configured within this range generally exceed the
requirements of the market.
Systems configured within this range meet the
requirements of most customers.
Systems configured within this range are generally
insufficient to meet the requirements of the market.
Systems cannot be configured in this range.
The Prioris MX 6200 configurations of the Lotus Domino Windows NT Prioris MX HiTest
Suite meet the requirements for work group or small department installations while providing
expansion capability for situations that may reach beyond the scope of this HiTest Suite.
In general, systems can be configured beyond the limits illustrated in Figure 2-3 by adding
additional storage cabinets and other peripherals. While this HiTest configuration supports
disk storage that completely fills the system cabinet, the Prioris MX 6200 can be configured
with additional storage cabinets that go well beyond this limit. This capability provides
hardware scalability for users who want to go beyond the HiTest limit.
Workload Capability
Scalability also measures how performance is affected as additional resources and users are
added. When scalability is measured by workload capability, the factors that are considered
include the effectiveness of additional hardware; whether the system remains consistent as
you add to it; and how expensive it is to add to it.
DIGITAL HiTest Suites are selected to provide an appropriate workload capability for the
target application area. Often a choice of suites is available, each providing appropriate
coverage for specific situations. HiTest works closely with other DIGITAL groups to ensure
that a HiTest system will perform appropriately in a production environment. Many HiTest
systems are tested and tuned for performance.
