IBM Redbooks Product Guide
The IBM® System x3630 M3 is a storage-rich dual-socket 2U server that integrates the leadership
features of traditional enterprise server offerings with affordable components to deliver outstanding value
to cost-conscious buyers. Based on the Intel Xeon 5600 processor technology, the x3630 M3 offers high
performance and maximum storage capacity. It provides up to 28 TB of internal storage capacity for a
much lower cost per terabyte than external storage, making it an ideal solution for storage-intensive
workloads.
The x3630 M3 helps keep your business running smoothly with availability features that include
redundant cooling fan modules and hot-swap/redundant power supplies, RAID protection, and predictive
failure analysis. The x3630 M3 also offers a comprehensive suite of systems management tools that help
simplify management tasks.
Suggested uses: Web 2.0 applications like online gaming, video/photo sharing, mail serving, community,
messaging, web search, file/print, backup, imagery, and transactional data server.
