IBM Netfinity 5000 4RY

IBM Netfinity 5000 4RY ... along with your business. It makes use of the latest Intel processors and fast SDRAM memory, as well as IBM's proven server management technology.

This model of the Netfinity 5000 is equipped with a 500MHz Pentium III processor with 512KB of ECC-protected L2 cache. Don't think that the Pentium III's new SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) instructions won't benefit server systems. SSE isn't just about graphics and multimedia, it also includes memory streaming technology that allows the Pentium III to process data more directly and output results more quickly. SSE does this by allowing single-use data to be sent directly to the processor without being written to the L2 cache first, which is a needless extra step that complicates what could be a much simpler transaction. With memory streaming, the Pentium III makes better, more efficient use of its L2 cache, with noticeable performance improvements.

IBM's Advanced System Management Processor is integrated into the Netfinity 5000, allowing your administrators to make use of dial-in access in order to monitor, diagnose and manage the server remotely. The server is equipped with hardware monitoring of its temperature and voltage levels, and can intelligently report on system health and resource usage. These features are invaluable time-savers and make the job of your IT staff that much easier. Other standard features of the Netfinity 5000 include the 10/100Base-TX network controller, a 32X CD-ROM drive and 1.44MB floppy drive.
