Outstanding performance, superior mainframe-like

reliability, and faulttolerant memory characteristics-

IBM® has been designing and implementing chipsets under the X-Architecture™ name since

2001. eX4 technology represents the fourth generation of products based on the same design

principle IBM began with in 1997are expandable, offer “big iron”: to offer systems that reliability,

availability,w and serviceability (RAS) features, ith extremely competitive price/performance on

an Intel® Xeon® - processorbased system.

The eX4 technology is primarily designed around three major workloads. These workloads are

The x3850 M2 now offers selected models integrated with VMware ESXi 3.5 preloaded on an

IBM 4GB USB 2.0 Flash Key. It operates in a diskless configuration, offers a smaller memory

footprint, extremely high performance, and stronger security, making getting a system up and

running in a virtualized environment faster and easier than ever before.

Another strong application area for the eX4based systems is enterprise server consolidation -

activities. Larger servers have more processor, memory and I/O resources which ,make

maximum use of any applicable virtual machine software licensing fees and deliver superior

system utilization levels. The name of the game in consolidation activities is to deploy the fewest

new servers possible and help IT staff manage more images with the same or fewer overall

people.
