Featured System x offerings

IBM System x enterprise servers

The ideal platform for today's business-critical applications – like database processing, customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning – and highly consolidated, virtual server environments. With multiple workloads running on the same server, performance remains important but reliability and availability become more critical than ever. IBM System x enterprise servers are built on X-Architecture® and feature eX4 technologies, including a unique chipset and other advanced capabilities that give you higher throughput, exceptional reliability and the ideal platform for virtualization.


IBM System x rack and tower servers

The philosophy regarding IBM System x rack-based servers is "innovation comes standard". IBM delivers next-generation technology today that the competition can't match. Some server vendors view uni- and two-socket servers as commodities, using off-the-shelf components to produce cookie-cutter servers with no added value. Instead, IBM X-Architecture system design begins with standard parts and adds innovation to create something more practical: outstanding dual- and quad-core performance, high availability, scalability, power efficiency and proactive manageability.
