Different applications make demands on different aspects of the server system. Some rely heavily on memory while others are processor-intensive or require frequent and rapid access to storage. (See Table 1 for a summary of server resource utilization by application type.) As applications increase in complexity and capability, server requirements also increase. Companies that rely on these applications can benefit by installing 8-way servers in their IT environments. Several application environments, highly amenable to larger systems, are discussed in some detail in the following sections. 6CDNG"30"5GTXGT"TGUQWTEG"WVKNK\CVKQP"D["CRRNKECVKQP"V[RG Server Resource Utilization Application Server Type CPU Power Memory Usage Disk I/O File & Print Low Low Med.
