B. RS/6000 Domino Server Sizing Tool
The RS/6000 Domino Server Sizing Tool is a server-sizing, capacity-planning tool used to suggest
server configurations based on benchmark information and on your customer requirements. You can
evaluate different server offerings with a mix of workloads that map to your internal deployment, such as
mail, discussion databases, groupware, and Web users. Because you can specify expected workload, it
is the best tool for recommending which RS/6000 server to purchase based on your predicted load. The
sizing tool currently is based on NotesBench and capacity data on Domino R4. When Domino R5 data is
available, the Sizing tool will be updated and noted on the Business Partners site. Your IBM
representative can access the sizing tool and assist in sizing recommendations.
