The IBM System x3550 M3 builds on the latest Intel Xeon processor technology with extreme processing power and superior energy-management and cooling features. With twice the performance of previous generations and a flexible, energy-smart design that integrates low-wattage components, the x3550 M3 can help you meet demanding workloads at a lower cost per watt.
Details
Simplifying management and serviceability
The x3550 M3 offers a flexible, scalable design and simple upgrade pathfrom four to eight hard disk drives. Comprehensive systems managementtools such as advanced diagnostics and the ability to control resourcesfrom a single point make it easy to deploy, integrate, service and manage
Reduce risk and maintain availability
Integrated with new 6 Gbps RAID adapters and double the I/O performance, the x3550 M3 provides a resilient architecture ideal for mission-critical applications as well as virtualization environments.Advanced memory support and greater disk capacity let you take advan-tage of higher processing speeds without sacrificing uptime.
- Power-optimised performance that leverages the speed of new Intel processors with more capacity and memory
- Innovative, energy-smart 1U design to help lower operational costs
- Energy-efficient design with unregistered dual inline memory modules (UDIMMs), 40 W processing and unified extensible firmware interface (UEFI) BIOS
- Better serviceability with a highly scalable, flexible design that is easy to deploy, integrate, service and manage
- Easier risk management with resilient architectures and virtualised environments
