Entry workgroup server to fit your budget
If you need to power up your small business or workgroup—and keep a watchful eye on your budget at the same time—take a close look at the RS/6000® 43P Model 150. This compact yet expandable system delivers the right combination of power, performance and price to delight IT administrators and small-business owners alike. Add the appropriate software and communications capabilities and turn the Model 150 into an e-business server ready to take your enterprise onto the Internet. However you configure this affordable performer, you can count on the Model 150 to meet your needs today, plus give you room to grow with confidence.
Stepping up power on the desktop
For those looking for more power at an entry price point, the Model 150 offers great performance at an affordable price. A choice of PowerPC 604e microprocessors (250 or 375MHz) and memory provide the versatility and price/performance needed to run networked business applications as well as e-business workload with ease.
Memory configurations are flexible beginning 128MB and expandable to 1GB for your demanding e-business applications. And a 1MB Level 2 (L2) cache is provided for increased processor performance.
Room to grow, in one compact package
Don't let the space-efficient footprint of the Model 150 mislead you. This system offers exceptional expansion capability, giving the ability to customize the system to meet your needs, today and in the future.
Each Model 150 comes equipped with 10/100Mbps Ethernet and an advanced Ultra SCSI storage controller. Because these are integrated on the system board, all five expansion slots on the Model 150 are available for adding devices such as communications adapters or storage controllers.
For additional connectivity expansion capacity, the Model 150 supports the 4-port Ethernet adapter so up to 4 Ethernet connections will use only one expansion slot. With two of these adapters, it can support up to 9 10/100 Ethernet connections. This adapter is cost effective for customers needing more Ethernet ports to run their e-business or Internet/firewall applications.
You can expand the base 9.1GB of internal Ultra SCSI disk storage on the Model 150 up to 54.6GB—ample capacity to satisfy the requirements of many server applications. And that's just for starters.
A wide variety of external storage devices may be attached to the Model 150. The IBM 2104 Expandable Storage Plus (Ultra3 SCSI) and 7133 Serial Disk System (SSA) provide highly reliable, high capacity, hot swappable external storage. Over 3 terabytes of SSA disk storage may be attached. When storage performance is an issue—for example, in the case of data-intensive e-business applications—choose Ultra2 SCSI or SSA disks and realize a significant improvement in data transfer rates over SCSI-2.
