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 just one client, the Internet Service Provider (ISP), instead of many clients as a file server does.
With this in mind the Netfinity 4500R was selected to provide an affordable price point for the growing internet server market, 256 MB of system memory (expandable to 4 GB), 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, 384 MB 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.
