The Apple Network Server (ANS) is a PowerPC based server designed to run a port of IBM's AIX instead of the Mac OS.
The Network Server 500 Series and Network Server 700 Series are a family of high-performance servers based on the PowerPC 604 or 604e Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) microprocessor. Designed around an innovative architecture, the servers provide high performance and scalability for medium to large workgroups running AIX-based applications.
