iSeries and AS/400e Servers
66 iSeries Handbook
Table 2: Summary of the iSeries Model 250 Packages
Note 1: Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is used to measure the performance of all iSeries and AS/400e
processors announced from September 1996 onward. The CPW value is measured on maximum
configurations. The type and number of disk devices, the number of workstation controllers, the amount of
memory, the system model, other factors, and the application running determine what performance is
achievable. With the introduction of the Dedicated Servers for Domino, Simple Mail Users is added as a
performance measurement.
Note 2: Processor performance represents the relative performance (maximum capacity) of a processor feature
running CPW in a client/server environment. Processor capacity is achievable when the commercial
workload is not constrained by main storage and DASD. Interactive Performance represents the relative
performance available to perform host-centric workloads. The amount of interactive capacity consumed
reduces the available processor capacity by the same amount.
Note 3: The Integrated Server is mutually exclusive with the high-speed slot for LAN in the Base System Unit.
Note 4: One line is used by the Operations Console.
Note 5: Total number of external tape drives does not increase.
Note 6: Integrated Server refers to Integrated xSeries Server for iSeries.
