Abstract
The IBM eServer pSeries Systems Handbook 2003 Edition, SG24-5120 is a comprehensive single-source guide covering the pSeries product line. In some cases, withdrawn products are included for comparison. Major hardware and software offerings are introduced and their prominent functions discussed.
This IBM Redbook is suitable for professionals wishing to acquire a better understanding of pSeries products, including customers, sales and marketing professionals, technical support professionals, and IBM Business Partners.
Inside this redbook, you will find a historical look at RS/6000 and pSeries hardware, an overview of the latest pSeries models, a short discussion on hardware architecture, information on storage, graphics, and communications features, a description of AIX and supported software platforms, and hundreds of tables and figures providing effective access to useful information.
The introduction of this redbook expands the current set of pSeries handbooks by providing an ideal, comprehensive, desktop reference that covers the entire product range from the desktop to the raised floor.
This redbook does not replace the latest pSeries marketing materials and tools. It is intended as an additional source of information that, together with existing sources, may be used to enhance your knowledge of IBM solutions for the UNIX marketplace.
