Highlights

Customer solutions

The Model C10 is an elegant and compact server that superbly meets the requirements for entry-level server or multi-user commercial environments. The unit's 80 MHz processor provides outstanding price/performance for diverse commercial applications. The standard 1GB disk drive, CD-ROM-2 drive, integrated SCSI-2 controller and excellent connectivity options make this an efficient and flexible system for retail, branch banking, wholesale and plant floor applications.

With up to 256MB of memory and 294GB disk capacity, a sizeable number of input/output devices and a communications controller, this small but powerful workhorse meets a wide range of business needs.

This compact system offers extensive configuration flexibility and provides room for expansion. Because customers have diverse network requirements, the Model C10 server provides an initial choice of connectivity solutions, including Ethernet LAN, token-ring LAN or 8-port asynchronous adapters. In addition, it supports attachment of the new 7318 Serial Communications Network Server (models P10 and S20) and the Network Terminal Accelerator, which together significantly improve Ethernet performance and expand terminal support capabilities. The incorporation of five media bays in the C10 server allows configuration of a wide variety of devices, including disk, tape and other media. This permits the server to support a variety of clients, including PCs, workstations, Xstations and ASCII terminals.

The C10 also has four Micro Channel(r) slots. One slot is dedicated to your selected connectivity option; three are available for other adapters.

A great investment

The operating system for the C10 server is AIX. The use of the AIX operating system provides interoperability between the C10 and other IBM and non-IBM systems. This expands the usefulness of those systems and increases the utility of the C10. Because it is driven by the PowerPC 601 microprocessor, the server provides outstanding fixed and floating-point processing.

Room to grow

The C10 server is designed to grow as your needs expand. Memory can be increased significantly beyond the standard 16MB to a maximum of 256MB. You can install three internal disk drives, attach additional external devices, and configure up to 294GB of disk storage.

Flexibility, speed, connectivity options--the C10 compact server has them all. It is an ideal solution for small companies where an entry-level commercial server is needed; in commercial situations requiring a small LAN server; and in large distributed enterprises in which a departmental server is required to run applications, such as retail in-store processing or branch business operations.
