Flex System x222 Compute Node
Lenovo Press Product Guide
The Flex System™ x222 Compute Node is a high-density dual-server offering that is designed for
virtualization, dense cloud deployments, and hosted clients. The x222 has two independent servers in
one mechanical package, which means that the x222 has a double-density design that allows up to 28
servers to be housed in a single 10U Flex System Enterprise Chassis.
Suggested use : For clients looking to virtualize their workloads while maximizing the density of their
computing resources.
The following figure shows the Flex System x222 Compute Node.

Did you know?
Flex System is a new category of computing that integrates multiple server architectures, networking,
storage, and system management capability in to a single system that is easy to deploy and manage.
Flex System has full and built-in virtualization support of servers, storage, and networking to speed
provisioning and increased resiliency. In addition, it supports open industry standards, such as operating
systems, networking and storage fabrics, virtualization, and system management protocols, to easily fit
within existing and future data center environments. Flex System is scalable and extendable with
multigenerational upgrades to protect and maximize IT investments.
