Compaq ProLiant ML330

Outperforms IBM Netfinity 1000

on NetBench 6.0

Abstract: Compaq continues to meet small and medium business needs

for the latest technology and best performance value for file/print

applications by offering best-in-class performance in the ProLiant ML330.

The performance of the ProLiant ML330 with a 667-MHz Pentium III

processor is demonstrated by the industry-standard NetBench 6.0

benchmark run under Windows NT 4.0 Server, Service Pack 6.0a.

ProLiant ML330 Outclasses the

IBM Netfinity 1000

In the latest NetBench performance testing results, the ProLiant

ML330 reveals its true server value and underscores the re-

engineered desktop PC design of the IBM Netfinity 1000. The

ProLiant ML330 achieved its outstanding results configured with a

667-MHz Pentium III processor, 133-MHz front side bus, and 7200-

rpm Wide Ultra2 SCSI drive. The IBM Netfinity 1000 was

configured with a 650-MHz Pentium III processor, 100-MHz front

side bus, and 7200-rpm IDE drive.
