Integrated virtualization out of the box
With VMware ESXi 3.5 (formerly known as VMware ESX Server 3i) integrated on the IBM BladeCenter® HS21 XM blade and IBM System x3850 M2 server, you can deploy and manage virtual machines in a matter of minutes.
Highly available infrastructure
VMware ESXi 3.5 operates independently of the operating system to help prevent downtime of virtual servers. The hypervisor is integrated into a USB-based internal flash drive on the server, which also contains optimal memory per processor core and lightning-fast I/O to further enhance infrastructure reliability.
Simplified management
Together with the Common Information Model (CIM), IBM Director provides a single interface to manage and monitor physical and virtual aspects of your IT environment, responding automatically to potential problems through the use of event action plans.
Time, space and budget savings
Multiply your power, cooling and floor-space savings by virtualizing server workloads. Get higher utilization of compute resources. Reduce server sprawl. And manage new application deployment in just minutes.
Greener data centers
Go green and save. Use less power and improve cooling with new innovative tools from the IBM Cool Blue™ Portfolio. Use the IBM Power Configurator to help determine your energy needs before you buy. IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™ provides new levels of accuracy in energy and power management, to help reduce power and cooling costs.
