eX5 systems are designed to help your business:

eX5 enterprise systems
equipped with Intel® Xeon® Processor 7500 series are designed to help your business:

• Maximise memory
  • More memory for racks and blades with MAX5
  • More virtual machines
  • Larger virtual machines
  • Bigger databases and faster database performance
  • Improved server utilisation
• Minimise cost
  • More virtual machines onto one platform
  • Reduce software licencing costs with higher performance per socket
  • eXFlash solid state storage designed to reduce database storage and energy costs
  • Reduce certification/testing costs with simplified deployment
  • Flexible design allows you to buy the capacity you need when you need it
• Simplify deployment
  • Choose preconfigured workload-optimised systems for faster deployment and faster time to value
  • Reduce qualification time with a single architecture across blades and 2-way & 4-way racks
  • Gain the ability to expand memory, processors, and I/O independently

And all of the benefits in the eX5 portfolio of systems are easy to acquire, own and manage and include OnForever™ reliability for maximum availability

IBM eX5 systems innovations include:

MAX5 – Unprecedented memory expansion with the external MAX5 memory chassis, decoupling server memory from system processors to allow you to optimise your systems performance
eXFlash – Get dramatically faster I/O, with greater storage density and improved reliability
FlexNode – Gain the ability to re-deploy your systems on a project-by-project basis for superior asset utilisation and workload management
Scalability – Updating IBM’s innovative ‘pay-as-you-grow’ capability by enabling all eX5 servers to scale
Workload optimised systems – Delivering specific workload-tuned models to minimise your time to value by leveraging IBM’s industry expertise
