The IBM Netfinity 5500 8660 is an enterprise-grade server designed to handle demanding business applications and workloads. The unit in question features a 550 MHz Intel Pentium III processor, which was known for its solid performance during its era. This server is part of the IBM Netfinity series, which was tailored for medium to large-sized businesses, providing reliable performance and scalability for a wide range of tasks.
The IBM Netfinity 5500 8660 has a dual-processor capability that supports running two Pentium III processors in tandem, offering expandable processing capabilities. It is designed to provide businesses with the flexibility necessary for future upgrades. The system includes provisions for up to 4GB of ECC SDRAM, helping maintain data integrity through its error-correcting memory capabilities, a key feature for enterprises that require consistent uptime and reliability.
Additionally, this model is built with an advanced hot-swappable drive system, like many models in the IBM Netfinity lineup. This feature allows the server's hard drives to be replaced without shutting down the system, giving businesses the capability to manage hardware replacements with minimal disruption. Furthermore, the 5500 8660 supports RAID 0, 1, and 5 configurations, which are crucial for balancing performance with data redundancy and protection.
The Netfinity 5500 8660 also has provisions for multiple PCI slots, offering expandability for additional network controllers, hardware accelerators, or other accessories. Its robust design, including a rack-mount chassis, makes it suitable for deployment in data centres and server rooms where space and efficiency are important.
