businesses that require increased appli
cation performance. The ScaleXpander
Option kit delivers the ability to scale
from 4 sockets to 8 sockets and
up to 16 sockets with the flexible
XpandOnDemand design; it's a pay-as
you-grow offering that provides more
flexibility than the previous x3850, so
organizations have even more control
over IT costs. And the system's bal
anced design enables organizations to
operate efficiently and save money on
initial server configurations without hav
ing to make up-front decisions about
scalability and long-term protection of
their IT investments. When clients add a
second chassis, the x3850 M2 doubles
the memory availability and I/O capabil
ity and nearly doubles processing
power.
More power for additional applications
The enterprise server's balanced design
offers more processing power with
quad-core processors and double the
number of memory slots, allowing it to
handle an increased number of applica
tions. In addition to keeping the ratio of
processor core to memory addressabil
ity balanced, the x3850 M2 offers flexi
bility to scale—providing access to
more processors, memory or I/O nec
essary for workloads.
Consistent reliability
With the x3850 M2, organizations can
consolidate an increased number of
applications on one server with a higher
threshold for protecting data. And with
enhanced memory subsystems, it can
help eliminate bottlenecks to operate
quickly, efficiently and
seamlessly.
Designed with mission-critical availabil
ity in mind, the x3850 M2 offers
advanced Active Memory™ features,
including:
Memory ProteXion™ to help pre
●
vent data loss. An advanced design
provides a deeper level of diagnos
tics to help keep the memory up
and running longer while enabling
data integrity.
IBM Chipkill™ memory to help
●
correct multiple, single-bit errors
using off-the-shelf DIMMs
Memory Mirroring with hot-swap
●
support to help protect data
through the ability to write simulta
