This redbook is a reference guide for selecting IBM Netfinity and IBM PC Server hardware. Its primary purpose is to describe the technology that is used to produce high-capacity systems suitable for today's business environment.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part describes the requirements your business may have when selecting a PC Server. It discusses what each of the server types is, what performance and availability requirements you should consider, and the level of management you require to maintain your systems.

Part 2 describes in detail what technology is available that will meet the requirements you selected in Part 1. It covers the technology in each of the subsystems in IBM Netfinity and PC Server systems from processors, memory and disks, through to tape, LAN adapters and power supplies.

Finally, Part 3 catalogs the Netfinity and PC Server systems and options that are currently available from IBM. The technical specifications of server models, enclosures, adapters, disks, tapes and management software are described, providing a one-stop listing of what is available and how they all fit together.

The information in this redbook should prove particularly useful to marketing professionals, IT architects, customers and anyone else who needs to plan or purchase a server system.
