Build the foundation for your dynamic infrastructure with IBM innovation
IT dollars need to stretch farther than ever. But an intelligent and dynamic IT infrastructure must continue to meet the demands of your business. IBM is announcing a new generation of System x® , BladeCenter® and iDataPlex™ servers and other supporting options offering an unbeatable combination of performance, value and energy efficiency designed to help you improve service, reduce costs and manage risk.
System x and BladeCenter offer a new generation of servers with the new Intel Xeon Processor 5500 Series
The new servers feature the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series, the next generation of intelligent server processors. These processors are designed to improve service by adapting to application behavior:
- automatically adjusting processing power to deliver maximum performance
- scaling energy usage to the workload
- offering best in class virtualization
All while allowing manual configuration for greater IT control and reduced risk.
IBM innovation provides unbeatable value
By combining the new processors with innovations like IBM Systems Director 6.1 and the Integrated Management Module (IMM), the new servers offer an easy to use and manage platform for virtualization and consolidation allowing you to:
- Lower your total cost of ownership including space and power
- Reduce your development costs
- Enhance your productivity
- Enhance your systems management capabilities
The new systems include:
IBM System x3650 M2 and System x3550 M2
You need lower operational costs, but you also need to reduce complexity and improve service. These extremely energy efficient 1U (x3550) or 2U (x3650) rack servers offer up to 128GB of high performance memory, extraordinary storage and network flexibility and leading virtualization capabilities.
