ThinkServer Options – Completing Your Perfect Solution

When configuring your ThinkServer solution, it is very important to understand your system’s needs to fully take advantage of the performance and throughput of ThinkServer solutions. Here are some tips to keep in mind when building your server solution.

RAID – protecting your data

•When configuring for strong data protection through advanced RAID solutions, at least three hard drives are required to fully take advantage of advanced RAID (i.e. RAID 5)

Virtualization – solution in a box

•Virtualization provides the huge benefit of reducing total cost of ownership (TCO)

•It’s crucial to ensure your ThinkServer is configured to provide the horse-power and storage expansion for the best virtualization solution

•Dual-processor ThinkServer systems provide a maximum of 12 Hard Drive bays and 96GB of Memory for the ThinkServer RD220 – plenty of processing power, storage, and memory for virtualization

“Future-Proof” – ready for growth

As your business grows, data and performance needs will increase. To stay competitive, your IT solution needs to be ready for growth. It should also be ready for important technology transitions.

•Ready for the most important transition for server storage -ThinkServer Hard Drives are capable of 6Gbps interface performance

•ThinkServer Hard Drives also provide the best storage expansion without taking up valuable server space – new 2.5-inch slim form-factor can provide higher storage performance per volume

Smart Investments – increasing value and performance

•Additional ThinkServer Memory will support your second processor and allow greater data reliability by taking advantage of Memory Mirroring and Memory Spare technologies

•Additional ThinkServer Hard Drives allow you to dedicate and mirror storage for operating systems and applications. This will increase your system’s performance without compromising system availability – a crucial factor in making your business successful
