Scalable 2-to-4-socket blade server optimized for virtualization/

consolidation, database, and ERP

Suggested uses:Front-end and mid-tier applications requiring high performance (CPU, memory

or I/O), enterprise-class availability, and extreme flexibility and power efficiency.

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

®name since 2001.

eX5 technology represents the fifth generation of products based on the same design principle

IBM began with in 1997: to offer Intel

®Xeon® processor-based systems that are expandable,

offer “big iron” reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features, with extremely competitive

price/performance.

The eX5 technology is primarily designed around three major workloads: database servers,

server consolidation using virtualization services, and Enterprise Resource Planning (application

and database) servers.

If you’re using industry-standard servers to run business critical applications, the systems that run

these applications need the type of technology designed into IBM’s eX5 technology systems. The

eX5 chipset represents a $100M+ investment in designing a flagship offering that can harness

the power of 4-socket-and-up 64-bit x86 (x64) Xeon processors. The eX5 family includes a

scalable performance with the ability to scale from a (30mm) to blade serversingle-wide blade

a (60mm). double-wide blade

Maybe you’d like to start out with a 2-socket blade and possibly add sockets later, if your needs

change. Or perhaps you need more than a 2-socket blade, but don’t want to get locked into a

monolithic 4-socket blade—again, in case your requirements change. With IBM, you can start at

2 sockets and grow to 4 if needed. And if you require a variety of 2- and 4-socket servers in your

data center, you only have to qualify one server for all these workloads. This can save much time

and effort and speed deployment. You can also save money on software licensing by virtualizing

a 4-processor server into many VMs, rather than using multiple 2-processor servers. Huge

amounts of memory also enable more or larger VMs, and larger databases (especially databases

stored entirely in memory).

Reducing an entire server into a little over of rack space (i.e., up to 14 servers in 9U) does .5U

not mean trading away features and capabilities for smaller size. The IBM BladeCenter

® HX5

blade server offers features comparable to many 1U rack-optimized full-featured servers, and

then some: The HX5 supports up to of the latest high-performance , two10-core, 8-core, 6-core

or Intel Xeon family or / series processors. The Xeon processors are 4-coreE77500 6500

designed with up to of shared cache and leading-edge memory performance (up to30MB

1066MHz) to help provide the computing power you require to match your business needs and

growth. The new Xeon and series processors offer up to E7-4800 E7-280040% greater

performance than the previous-generation Intel 7500/6500 series processors.

Because business requirements change and a 2-socket server that meets those needs today

may not meet them in the future, the HX5 was designed to be upgradeable to meet the diverse

needs of multiple workloads. For , it can be configured as a 2-compute-intensive workloads

wide blade server with up to , 4 processors / 40 cores32 DIMMs512GB4 PCIe cards16 I/O (), ,

ports 4 solid-state drivesSSDsmemory-intensive workloads, and (). Conversely, for , the

HX5 can be configured as a 2-wide server consisting of and memory 1 blade server1 MAX5

expansion blade, with up to 40 DIMMs640GBFlexNode partitioning () total. IBM allows a

physical 4-socket configuration to be remotely reconfigured by software into logical 2-socket two

servers, as needs change or for daily peak and off-peak workloads.

The HX5 supports (formerly ESXi)preloaded on a standard USB VMware vSphere Hypervisor

flash drive. 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. You can save money on software licensing by

using the huge memory capacity to virtualize the server into many VMs, rather than using

multiple servers. Huge amounts of memory also enable larger VMs and larger databases.

IBM’s eX5 technology-based systems are the ideal solution for scale-up database-serving
