IBM System x iDataPlex, a large-scale solution, can help you face constraints in power, cooling or physical space. The innovative design of the iDataPlex solution integrates Intel® processor-based processing into the node, rack and data center for power and cooling efficiencies, and required compute density.
Highlights include:
- Flexible design for large-scale data centers
- Up to 40% power efficiency improvement1
- Dramatically reduced cooling costs; air conditioning expense minimized or even eliminated2
- Up to 5X compute density for efficient space utilization
- Front access cabling
- Easy to service and manage.
IBM System x iDataPlex dx360 M4
The dx360 M4 a dual-socket, half-depth server built on the latest Intel Xeon technology that provides high performance, flexibility and energy efficiency for your data centre..
The dx360 M3 is a half-depth, two-socket server designed to provide ultimate power and cooling efficiencies and maximum density for data centres
1 The 40% power savings was calculated by comparing a 1U server with a 450W power supply and IBM System x iDataPlex with a 375W power supply configured with dual-core low-voltage processors, 8 GB memory (4x2 GB) and four 500 GB SATA hard disk drives.
2 In most cases with the IBM Rear Door Heat eXchanger installed in the iDataPlex rack, outlet temperatures from the back of the iDataPlex rack are up to 10 degrees lower than inlet air (room) temperatures. This helps eliminate the need for air conditioning and facilitates cooling of the next row of iDataPlex racks using the iDataPlex flow-through layout.
3 Each 2U Flex chassis supports two independently serviceable trays, providing flexibility to maximise the compute power, storage or input/output (I/O) density required. A 3U storage chassis is available for additional storage density up to 24.0 TB per server.
