- DISCUSSION ------------------------------------------------------
-
- The Apple Workgroup Server 80 provides the performance, reliability,
- scalability, and manageability you need to meet the requirements of
- medium-sized workgroups for file and print, workgroup database, or
- communications services. Representing the midrange of Apple's server
- family, this system is based on the fast 33-megahertz Motorola 68040
- microprocessor. With on-board Ethernet and built-in AppleTalk networking
- capability, the Apple Workgroup Server 80 is ideal for up to 30 active
- users (that is, users simultaneously reading from and writing to the
- server). It can act as a communications server by running applications
- such as Apple's SNA•ps, MacX25, or MacX.400 gateway products, or the Apple
- Internet Router.
-
- The Apple Workgroup Server 80 is expandable. You can add up to 136MB of
- RAM, install up to three NuBus cards, and store up to three additional
- high-capacity internal storage devices, such as an internal DDS-DC 4mm tape
- drive for backups.
-
- Apple servers continue the "plug and play" tradition established by the
- Macintosh. System 7 and high-performance AppleShare 4.0 file and print
- server software is preloaded, so installation takes just minutes. Because
- it's a snap to maintain, manage, reconfigure, and expand, over the long run
- the Apple Workgroup Server 80 offers the lowest cost of ownership in its
- class.
-
- To provide a midrange file and print server solution for your business, to
- supply classroom-to-campus integration, or to meet other communications
- requirements, build your solutions around the Apple Workgroup Server 80.
