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 2U (x3650 M2) or 1U (x3550 M2) rack servers offer up to 128GB of high performance memory, extraordinary storage and network flexibility and leading virtualization capabilities.
IBM BladeCenter HS22
Your business needs a flexible, easy-to-use blade that doesn't compromise on performance while reducing costs. Discover greater performance with the HS22 blade server while consuming less power with faster, lower-voltage quad-core processors, solid state drives, and the industry's most energy-efficient chassis.
iDataPlex dx360 M2
The most demanding applications require extreme computing performance, but your business demands extreme space, power and cooling efficiency. Featuring new Intel® Xeon® processors, the new dx360 M2 offers a double-sized server's computing power despite being the same footprint as earlier generations.
IBM System Cluster 1350 enhancements
New Intel® Xeon-based cluster configurations can help reduce costs while improving performance for key petroleum, chemical, manufacturing, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), and life sciences workloads.
Systems management enhancements
With the Integrated Management Module (IMM) and support for the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) along with IBM Systems Director 6.1, you can easily manage all of the powerful features of the new System x and BladeCenter servers – so you can get the most out of your IT investment.
