IBM iSeries Models 800, 810 for Small to Medium Enterprises
A single server for e-business, today and tomorrow
When business demands are constantly changing, your IT infrastructure needs to be able to grow and adapt to meet them-without breaking the bank. IBM eServer iSeries does exactly that.
Versatile, easy, reliable
With the ability to support a wide spectrum of operating environments and an impressive suite of pre-integrated e-business tools, iSeries servers deliver outstanding versatility and ease of use. Self-managing features reduce administration time and expense. In addition, Models 800 and 810 offer the same reliability as top-end servers-at a fraction of the cost.
Affordable and scalable
Designed specifically for small and medium businesses, the Models 800 and 810 reduce cost of ownership in three ways:
- Affordable entry price
- Integrated architecture makes for easy deployment
- Self-management features reduce maintenance costs
- Simple modular upgrades allow room for growth without costly replacements
One server for virtually any application
You don't need to maintain an entire server farm to support all the different applications your business runs on. A single iSeries 800 or 810 server can run applications in all these operating systems:
- OS/400®
- Linux®
- Microsoft® Windows 2000®
- Windows NT®
- Lotus® Domino™
- ported UNIX® applications
And it can run them simultaneously. There is a clear cost advantage to buying and maintaining one server instead of several but, more importantly, the versatility of the 800 and 810 provides your business with the flexibility to work in different operating systems as your business needs change.
Windows consolidation, central management
Your business can also benefit from the models 800 and 810 if your configuration is more complex. iSeries and xSeries servers can be used together to consolidate Intel servers and storage, allowing them to share iSeries centralized disk, tape, DVD, and systems-management resources. The result is true integration, combining the best of both iSeries and xSeries servers-the freedom to run the best mix of applications while operating the entire implementation as a single infrastructure.
Built for the way your business works
The iSeries comes with database, storage, and application development tools already integrated into its architecture, helping to lower its acquisition costs, speed its deployment, and enhance its manageability.
The no-nonsense user interface of the 800 and 810 delivers extraordinary speed and efficiency. And the IBM WebFacing tool allows you to convert the screen display for more Web-oriented interfaces.
iSeries drives can be divided into as many as 31 separate partitions, allowing your organization to perform scheduled maintenance and seamlessly switch database objects to other systems, minimizing interruptions to normal operations.
A server that takes care of itself
As your business grows, inevitably so will your system demands. But however big and powerful your system is, its usefulness to you depends on it remaining easy and efficient to use.
That's why the iSeries automates its storage management operations, performing complex operations such as these:
- increasing storage capacity
- data distribution for performance
- load balancing
- expert cache
This means that, unlike other platforms, the iSeries does not require dedicated storage specialists to perform day-to-day storage management tasks-significantly helping to reduce management costs.
