Sample Configurations
The verification test was run on the configuration mentioned previously. Below are sample
configurations for light (small), medium, and high (large) workload /user communities. These are meant
to be guideline configurations relative to memory, disk, and adapters. Specific configurations should be
based on customer requirements. The configurations briefly described here can be found in Appendix A.
Small Configuration:
This RS/6000 configuration supports up to 2,700 active users of mail
where the mail load is 5 times that of NotesBench. This configuration
can be used for many solution examples, but if more than mail is used,
the number of registered mail users would decrease dependent on the
added application workload. There is an unofficial NotesBench test
resulting in 13,500 users that can be used to demonstrate the
performance factors of this model and support calculations to
determine variations on the below configuration to support entry and
growth requirements using the pSeries 640 expansion capabilities.
(Note: Unofficial numbers may not be used officially or publicly to
compare to NotesBench results published for other Notes server
environments.) The configuration is an IBM pSeries model 640 with a
375 MHz 4-way 64-bit Power3-II processor, with 1164.8 GB disk and 8
GB memory.
Medium Configuration:
This configuration supports up to 5,606 active users of mail where the
mail load factor is 5 times that of NotesBench. This configuration can
be used for many solution examples, but if more than mail is used, the
number of registered mail users would decrease dependent on the
added application workload. There is an official NotesBench test
resulting in 28,032 users that can be used to demonstrate the
performance factors of this model and support calculations to
determine variations on the below configuration to support entry and
growth requirements using the M80 expansion capabilities. The
configuration is an IBM RS/6000 model M80 with a 500 MHz 8-way
64-bit RS64 III processor, with 1747.2 GB disk and 16 GB memory.
Large Configuration:
This RS/6000 configuration supports up to 21,600 active users of mail
where the mail load factor is 5 times that of NotesBench. This
configuration can be used for many solution examples, but if more than
mail is used, the number of registered mail users would decrease
dependent on the added application workload. There is an unofficial
NotesBench test resulting in 108,000 users that can be used to
demonstrate the performance factors of this model and support
calculations to determine variations on the below configuration to
support entry and growth requirements using the pSeries 680 expansion
capabilities. (Note: Unofficial numbers may not be used officially or
publicly to compare to NotesBench results published for other Notes
server environments.) The configuration is an IBM pSeries 680, 24-way
600 MHz 64-bit RS64 IV processor with 5241.6 GB disk and 96 GB
memory.
