No matter your ICT environment is a small business or a global industry, the mission-critical applications and data must be protected. From a simple application to the most complex solution, the dual-socket IBM® System x3650, incorporating IBM X-Architecture™ features, is designed to protect their data with high performance, high reliability and high availability. The x3650 supports the latest quad and dual-core Intel® Xeon™ processors for high performance and reliability.
For even higher levels of availability, the x3650 also offers a choice of optional online hot-spare memory or memory mirroring. Dual integrated high-speed Gigabit Ethernet controllers with TOE (TCP Offload Engine) and Jumbo Frame support are standard.
IBM ServeRAID-8k SAS RAID controller adds 256MB of battery-backed cache to the onboard controller to provide three additional RAID levels, including RAID-1E/5/6. The slim 2U size of the x3650 helps you maximize your rack investments. Up to 21 of these servers can be installed in a single 42U rack, for a total of up to 42 processors, offering the ideal balance of performance, storage and I/O slots per rack. Optional Advanced Connectivity Technology (ACT) interconnect cabling helps reduce cable clutter and cost and minimizes installation time when interconnecting many rack-mounted servers.
Standard in the x3650 is a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that enables the user to manage and control the server easily—both locally and remotely. This high level of manageability is designed to help keep management costs down and the system up. The dropdown light path diagnostics panel enables quick servicing of the system if a problem develops. These advanced features help maximize network availability by increasing uptime, as do hot-swap/redundant HDDs, power and fans.
