4.3 IBM Netfinity 5000
The IBM Netfinity 5000 delivers the perfect blend of power, manageability, expandability, and serviceability to satisfy the requirements of small-to-large-sized businesses looking for an affordable general purpose network server. These servers fit right into business environments where rack or tower configurations are desired.
For e-business applications, they are an excellent choice as Lotus Domino Server R5 or Domino Intranet servers. For your J.D. Edwards’ OneWorld solution, the Netfinity 5000 is the recommended entry server to support OneWorld deployment services. In addition, they offer 500 MHz Pentium III power with synchronized 100 MHz operations to memory so that the distribution, updates and upgrades of OneWorld software over the network are quick and efficient. To keep a OneWorld deployment site running, the Netfinity 5000 has various cost-effective, high-availability features such as hot-swap hard disk drives, Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA), and redundant power supplies. Each value-priced Netfinity 5000 is backed by the same world-class service and support found with our larger systems.
Using the integrated Netfinity Advanced Systems Management processor in conjunction with IBM award-winning Netfinity Manager and award-winning Lightpath diagnostics, it is the total solution for proactive control of your networked business systems, seamlessly integrating with key workgroup and enterprise management platforms.
The Netfinity 5000 is for customers interested in greater processing subsystem performance, disk capacity, rack-drawer capability, and high-availability functions than that of the Netfinity 3000. Customers requiring a higher level of availability and greater disk storage capacity will still want the Netfinity 5500. The Netfinity 5000 is for customers who want a very affordable general-purpose server that has excellent performance capability, manageability, serviceability, and moderate amounts of high-availability features.
