server’s well-being so that questionable components can be replaced during off
hours.
4.4.2 Netfinity 5500 M20
The IBM Netfinity 5500 M20 servers advance the popular Netfinity 5500 line by
introducing affordable, four-way SMP processing power and scalability to
mainstream network computing. Using the latest high-performance Intel 500 MHz
Pentium III Xeon processors, these servers deliver blazing performance while
giving you the advanced high-availability and remote system management
features you need to handle your business-critical applications. Valuable IBM
programs top off the offering by bringing mainframe-like support, installation
tools, and e-business solution capability without additional charge.
The Netfinity 5500 M20 (also shown in Figure 9 on page 29) excels in network
server applications by using powerful Pentium III Xeon processors with either 512
KB ECC or 1 MB full-speed caches that run external operations to memory and
I/O buses at 100 MHz. These four-way capable processors coupled to high-speed
100 MHz memory, two primary PCI buses, high-performance integrated Ethernet
and RAID controllers, and optional 10K rpm hard disk drives (HDDs) jump
mainstream server performance to new heights.
The Netfinity 5500 M20 server is positioned just under the Netfinity 7000 M10.
For those who require the additional expansion of memory and I/O adapters or
the performance of 64-bit PCI bandwidth and four-way SMP Pentium II Xeon
processors, the Netfinity 7000 M10 is an excellent solution. The Netfinity 5500
M20 is for customers who need 500 MHz Pentium III Xeon processors with
four-way SMP capability and support for large amounts of memory for
compute-intensive applications. They are the perfect solution when advanced
levels of high-availability and serviceability features are necessary for
business-critical applications found in corporate data centers, branch offices, or
medium-sized businesses.
Potential customers who need an advanced mainstream server for the J.D.
