IBM donates equipment
and services worth £1m to the School of Computing IBM have announced a donation of equipment and services worth £1,000,000 to the School of Computing at DCU. This will consist of a System 390 mainframe with associated software, 100 IBM thin client netstations and 2 Netfinity servers. Part of the equipment donation has already arrived on campus and is being installed. The 100 thin client netstations each have 64 Mb RAM and a Power PC CPU and will be used for undergraduate computing. They will be powered by the two Netfinity servers, each of which will have duel processors and 1 Gbyte of RAM. Each netstation will run CITRIX for PC emulation and will then run Windows NT as the interface for users. They will also be used as access terminals for the S390. The S390 will be used for scientific computing, basic number crunching and research into cryptography and eCommerce. The donation will be officially launched in November 1999. |
