 Introducing IBM eX5 enterprise systems

Make your business operate smarter

Workloads are growing, data is exploding, and memory-intensive applications need more than raw processing power, they need more memory to maximize performance. Enterprise X-Architecture allows System x and BladeCenter systems to boost performance and minimize licensing costs by de-coupling memory from the processor. This allows businesses to add memory as needed without necessarily adding servers.

IBM eX5 enterprise systems deliver extraordinary value and investment protection for enterprise-level virtualization, database, and transaction processing.

The premiere x86 enterprise system just got even better

Your business needs to manage costs while meeting the demands of customers, partners and employees. You need rack systems that offer the performance your applications need, the flexibility the market demands, and the availability your customers expect—all at a cost your business can afford.

The new System x3850 X5 has the capability to scale from 4 to 8 sockets with memory, storage and processing capacity to meet the demands of your business now and into the future. The new System x3950 X5 offers the same features as the x3850 X5 and is workload optimized to deliver performance and rapid deployment of either database applications or virtualized environments depending on your business requirements.

Why choose System x3850 X5 or x3950 X5?

The System x3850 X5 and x3950 X5 are designed to help your business address demands from key workloads:

• Larger, faster databases

Support larger, faster databases than today’s systems can handle. Your databases need more memory, processing power, and room to grow. MAX5 memory expansion and eXFlash SSD technology increase your system’s memory and storage, delivering larger, faster databases and reducing the need for additional systems or external storage. FlexNode partitioning and automatic failover are designed to simplify maintenance and maximize uptime.

• Consolidation

Consolidating and virtualizing workloads from multiple servers onto an x3850 X5 or x3950 X5 with MAX5 can help lower costs. With FlexNode partitioning you can re-deploy systems on a project-by-project or day-to-night basis – with no physical change to the systems. Consolidation of many-to-one allows higher utilization and better ROI, lower administration costs, less power consumption, and less rack space.

• Enterprise workloads

With x3850 X5 and x3950 X5, you can run your enterprise workloads more efficiently and protect your IT investment. Move enterprise workloads off proprietary platforms like Sun SPARC and HP with Itanium to a cost efficient, industry standard platform. Take advantage of the enterprise-class robustness and reliability of the IBM eX5 platform.

Key features

The new System x3850 X5 and x3950 X5 offer improved performance and enhanced features including MAX5 memory expansion and workload optimized models to maximize memory, minimize costs, and simplify deployment. Compared to previous generation servers, the x3850 X5 and x3950 X5 offer:

• Twice the memory capacity – up to 64 DIMMS standard and 96 DIMMs with the MAX5 memory expansion per 4-socket server
• Intel® Xeon® processor 7500 series – Exceptional scalable performance with advanced reliability for your most data-demanding applications
• Four times the SAS capacity with 8 HDDs and 300GB 2.5" SAS drives or 1.6TB of hot-swappable, RAID 5, with eXFlash technology
• Standard dual port Emulex 10Gb Virtual Fabric adapter
