IBM xSeries™ Selection Guide
This graph represents general guidelines for selecting the appropriate server based on the number of users that can be supported in a particular application environment. This chart is for
general guidance since each customer environment is unique and is unlikely to be precisely represented by any of the specific applications in the chart, but by using the chart, a
reasonable approximation can be derived. External Storage Units are utilized when internal capacities are exceeded. Utilize the chart by following the steps outlined at the end of this
section.
These are not published benchmark results. ccess www.pc.ibm.com/ww/eserver/xseries/benchmarks/index.html to obtain the benchmark data.

1. MHz/GHz only measure microprocessor internal clock speed, not application performance. Many factors affect application performance.
2. When referring to hard disk drive capacity, GB equals one billion bytes. Total user accessible capacity may vary depending on operating environments.
3. Onboard mirroring, which is equivalent to R ID 10, is supported in BladeCenter HS20 when a SCSI Storage Expansion Unit is installed with two matching SCSI
hot-swap HDDs.
4. maximum of 28 processors are supported when 14 HS20s are installed in the BladeCenter.
5. The maximum of 56GB of memory is based on 4GB in each of 14 HS20s.
6. Maximum storage of 1.588TB is based on seven HS20s with two 40GB IDE HDDs in each and a SCSI Storage Expansion Unit attached to each HS20
containing two 73.4GB Ultra160 SCSI hot-swap HDDs.
Procedure for Server Selection Guidance Chart
File and Print numbers are Novell Netware-based with all others based on Microsoft Windows NT®. Other Network Operating System (NOS) results could vary.
Extensive S P sizings are available from IBM/S P Competency Centers. Contact your IBM Marketing Representative for additional information.
Ste 1: Determine which application (row) most closely represents the customer’s environment.
Ste 2: Move from left to right along the row (chosen in Step 1) noting which columns contain numbers that are equal to or greater than the maximum
customer’s planned number of users.
Ste 3: Move up the columns (chosen in Step 2) to the top row to determine which IBM xSeries or Netfinity servers should be considered as possible solutions.
Ste 4: Evaluate other features such as storage, memory capacity, high availability components, number of available expansion slots, etc., which are unique to
each server, in order to determine which is the most appropriate to recommend.
For your reference, configuration information corresponding to the number of users is also provided.
