Year 2000, Euro and Tivoli ® ready• Offers vast portfolio of multiuser applicationsWith a higher clock speed and 4MBof L2 cache, the 400 MHz processorprovides significantly increased commercialperformance. And the designof the Model 170 protects investmentsby letting you start at 333 MHz, thenupgrade to 400 MHz simply by pluggingin a new processor card.Matched to the powerful microprocessorsis a new memory controllerwith a 100 MHz memory bus thatfurther enhances performance. With upto twice the memory of the Model 150and up to 72.8GB of internal storage, theModel 170 can easily meet the needsof a small business or Web server.There when you need itThe Model 170 offers enterprise-classreliability in an entry server with abuilt-in service processor which isdesigned to continuously monitor thesystem's vital signs. It can determineand take corrective action to help criticalapplications stay up and running.These are among the most powerfulmicroprocessors IBM has ever offered.With the 400 MHz processor installed,the Model 170 provides nearly fivetimes the floating-point performanceand more than two times the transactionprocessing performance of the43P Model 150.The advanced technology of theModel 170 provides a number of realbusiness advantages. It offers flexibilityin building business solutions, with morethan 13,000 AIX applications available insuch areas as e-business, e-commerce,and entry enterprise resource planningand supply chain management. Andsince the Model 170 can run 32-bitand 64-bit applications concurrently, itcan help you manage your transition to64-bit computing.Enabled at your option, the serviceprocessor, with IBM's Service Director TMoffering installed, can automaticallydial out to a service center if it detectsa component failure, often beforeany problem is apparent to users orsystem administrators.

And concurrentdiagnostics enable you to troubleshootpotential system malfunctionswithout shutting down the system.For the most mission-critical applications,the Model 170 offers the optionof high-availability clustering, usingIBM’s industry-leading HACMP 1 disasterrecovery software.Small package, big valuee-business is about growth, so theModel 170 offers expandable powerand capacity in a compact design.Integrated Ethernet, internal Ultra SCSIand external Ultra2 SCSI controllersleave six industry-standard PCI slotsavailable for your use. Internal diskstorage ranges from 9.1GB to 72.8GB,and products such as the IBM 2104Expandable Storage Plus (Ultra2 SCSI)and the IBM 7133 Serial Disk System(SSA) provide highly reliable, hotswappableexternal storage. In fact,with the 7133 more than 6 terabytes ofdisk storage may be attached.This kind of expandability means theModel 170 can help you grow yourbusiness on the Internet or expandto support additional users.The AIX advantageThe UNIX operating system for theModel 170 is IBM’s award-winning AIX 2 ,providing real value in reliability, availabilityand security. AIX is tuned fore-business performance, and widelyrecognized as state-of-the-art insystems and network management.AIX 4.3.3 runs across the entire RS/6000product line and delivers Java TM technology,Web performance and scalabilityenhancements. It is an excellentchoice for managing large complexinstallations. AIX offers Web-basedremote management tools that allowyou to control the system from anyJava-enabled browser and includesTivoli Management Agent, whichmonitors key resources such as adapterand network availability, file systemstatus, and processor workload.
