As/400E Dedicated Server For Domino Positioning - IBM i series Handbook

There are now six Capacity Upgrade on Demand processor features (#2416, #2417, #2419,
#2352, #2353, and #2354) for the Model 840 and one CUoD processor feature (#2351) for
the Model 830. Each offers a number of Base processors (only one for the Model 830) that
are in "active" status and a set of On Demand processors that are in "standby" status.
On Demand processors (one or more) can be permanently activated by ordering the desired
quantity of feature code #1604 for Models 840 or #1605 for the Model 830 as an MES order.
Ordering feature #1604 and #1605 generates a CUoD Activation Code, which is then posted
on a Web site and mailed to the customer. This activation code must then be entered at the
server console. For further details, refer to the Planning Guide for Capacity Upgrade On
Demand at:

AS/400e Dedicated Server for Domino Positioning

AS/400e capabilities to support Lotus Domino are firmly established since the announcement
of Lotus Domino for AS/400 in January 1998. In mid-1999, IBM and Lotus delivered a first in
the industry—the AS/400e Dedicated Server for Domino. Two models and six processor
features were added in 2000.
For entry Domino environments, the Dedicated Server adds scalability for disk and memory
capacity. For larger Domino environments, enterprise-class scalability and capacity can be
achieved. The iSeries and AS/400e server's reliability, robust subsystem architecture, and
ease of operations provide a sound base to develop and deploy rich Web development and
serving functions of Domino solutions. Combined with the rock-solid reliability and scalability
of iSeries or AS/400e servers, Domino customers can achieve highly effective Web sites with
intranet, extranet, and Internet capabilities.
iSeries and AS/400e customers extend their traditional applications and data by adding Lotus
Domino solutions to their existing servers, as part of upgrades, or as stand-alone servers for
e-mail, groupware applications, and Web sites. Domino customers use Domino partitioning
on iSeries or AS/400e servers to consolidate Domino workloads onto one server with a
simple, single footprint to deliver e-mail and business applications. Server consolidation
offers vertical growth within the processor. Growth is available within the model.
With the availability of Dedicated Servers for Domino, customers choose to deploy Domino
solutions on separate servers from other business applications for several reasons:
• Messaging and e-business servers are mission-critical assets. Reliability,
maintenance, and availability requirements differ from other production systems.
• Many organizations employ specialized staff and servers to deliver messaging and
groupware to their businesses, separate from those that support their line-of-business
applications.
