Innovation that matters

When was the last time you were introduced to technology that really made a difference in how your data center operates? In how your IT staff operates? What about new technology that made a substantial difference in lowering your IT costs while boosting performance? The question always remains how to do more with less. And scalable server solutions are more and more becoming the answer.

Allow us to introduce you to the newest member of the IBM System x enterprise-server family. A powerhouse of a server, the IBM System x3950 M2 uses the latest quad-core Intel® Xeon™ 7300 Series MP processors in its unique chipset to deliver extraordinary performance while maintaining best-in-class x86 reliability. System x3950 M2 configurations are built from four processor, 4U building blocks allowing you to deploy 16 to 64 cores either initially or later as your business growth demands.


Performance for demanding workloads
Increasingly, customers are moving enterprise workloads — OLTP databases, business intelligence applications, ERP suites — onto economical x86 server platforms. The System x3950 M2 is the best host for these applications because of its leadership performance, superior RAS and its lower entry cost architecture. It was specifically made for data center environments and boasts a thermal-efficient design, so you can also go green and save—directly, through greater power efficiency and more effective power management. Innovative technologies such as DDRII registered DIMM memory technology can add to the savings by consuming up to 37 percent less power compared to the competition.

Protect your IT investment with highly reliable enterprise servers
If you aren't sure how your business needs are going to change, System x enterprise servers deliver an outstanding solution that provide the ultimate investment protection. You'll never waste precious IT skills ripping and replacing an under-sized server. The x3950 M2's scalability is built right in so you can double and quadruple processor, memory and I/O resources. You can even convert the IBM System x3850 M2 into an x3950 M2 with the ScaleXpander Option Kit.

The IBM reliability you've come to expect, ultra high performance backed by large memory support, a built-in path for growth via its simple design for scaling, and it all comes in an energy-efficient package. You really can do more with less with the new quad-core IBM System x3950 M2 servers. Go ahead and load them up. They can handle it.
