IBM 79482CX Brochure

Compact, powerful compute node for high-performance
computing
IBM System x3450
Highlights
■ Features industry-leading
technology to deliver maximum
performance for minimal
investment
■ Helps manage growth,
complexity and risk with large
memory addressability and
scalable systems
■ Saves valuable real estate for
large cluster deployments due
to its 1U space-saving design
Organizations need powerful servers
that can deliver high performance—
providing only necessary features. The
IBM System x3450 provides maximum
performance for a fixed investment,
enabling organizations to run compute-
intensive applications.
Innovation drives performance
The x3450 delivers high performance
thanks to quad-core and dual-core
processors with 1600 MHz front-side
bus to speed I/O and 16 Fully Buffered
DIMMs for large memory addressability.
Both allow organizations to run applica­
tions more quickly.
The x3450 is designed with fewer gen­
eral purpose features and minimal hard­
ware component redundancies. Other
highlights include:
16 DIMMs for better system per­
●
formance ideal for compute-
intensive applications.
DDR II for power-efficient memory.
●
Single non-redundant power supply
●
for energy efficiency.
Save costs by scaling out
The x3450 provides scalable memory
solutions to accommodate expansion.
Building on existing systems, organiza­
tions can plan for future growth while
protecting their investment.
Compact design for high efficiency
The space-saving x3450 design helps
provide more space for crowded data
centers without compromising perform­
ance. High performance computing
has expanded beyond universities and
research organizations to become
mainstream. The x3450 delivers the
costs and performance needed in this
expanding market.
