ProLiant ML330 Outperforms IBM Netfinity 1000 on NetBench 6.0

Compaq ProLiant ML330 Outperforms IBM Netfinity 1000 on NetBench 6.0 5
13EY-0900A-WWEN
Interpreting the Results
The performance that Compaq achieves with the ProLiant ML330 clearly indicates that this
server is an outstanding solution in its class for small and medium businesses that need leading
file/print to Internet technology. The hardware differences in the IBM Netfinity 1000 including
the 650-MHz processor, 100-MHz front side bus, and IDE drive, contributed to their lower
performance result. This configuration leads to lower performance and therefore higher cost of
ownership. To simulate environments that are "typical," Compaq ran NetBench 6.0 under
Windows NT 4.0 Server (Service Pack 6.0a) on the Compaq ProLiant ML330 and the IBM
Netfinity 1000 to measure the effectiveness of each server.
