 IBM System x iDataPlex
Right-size your large-scale data center
| | |
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:
- The iDataPlex dx360 M2 is the top rated server for both performance and energy efficiency in the x86 marketplace 1
- Flexible design for large-scale data centers
- Dramatically reduced cooling costs; air conditioning expense minimized or even eliminated 2
- Up to 5X compute density for efficient space utilization
- Front access cabling
- Easy to service and manage

1 According to the SPEC® (Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation) performance per watt results published June 10, 2009. Results can be found at http://www.spec.org/power_ssj2008/results/power_ssj2008.html (link resides outside of ibm.com)
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 maximize the compute power, storage or I/O density required. A 3U storage chassis is available for additional storage density up to 12.0 TB per server.
