Ease of use: Predictive Failure Analysis and Light Path Diagnostics

§  Exclusive - Rapid Fault Isolation

“IBM built its rack servers to be rock-
solid reliable. The servers deliver high
availability through their use of

redundant, hot-swap power supplies as
well as cooling fans. At the same time,
they feature IBM Predictive Failure
Analysis and Light Path Diagnostics.
Together, these features significantly
reduce server downtime and in some
The IBM System x cases, avoid failures altogether.
blueprint equips our x86 Therefore the improved reliability offered
servers with the IT by the new System x servers means that
businesses stay ahead of the
innovation that makes competition while benefitting from
data centers more enhanced investment protection and
reliable and secure extended server lifespan.”

•  Lower list price points vs RDIMMs
•  Cannot mix with RDIMM / LRDIMM / HyperCloud

LRDIMM •  Maximum system memory = 768GB
•  Highest Performance for memory capacities greater then 384GB.
•  Workloads needing maximum memory (Virtualization, Databases)
•  Cannot mix with RDIMM / UDIMM / HyperCloud

HyperCloud •  Highest Performance for memory capacities from >256GB to 384GB.
•  Up to 25% memory performance increase vs 16GB RDIMMs at 3DPC)
•  Targeted for large memory footprint financial / HPC applications.

Virtual Fabric breaks the I/O bottleneck and simplifies deployment

ü Avoid complex LAN vs. SAN capacity
planning: Virtual Fabric can become
Networking technology,
Ethernet, FCoE, and iSCSI
Any Networking speed
ü Allocate bandwidth where needed:
Mission critical workloads get most, while
test projects get appropriate share of
bandwidth

ü Deploy less hardware: 50% Fewer adapters
Fewer adapters and switches needed to
support the same workload with IBM
Virtual Fabric technology
ü Pre-integrated in select models:
Rack servers – x3850 X5, x3690 X5
75% Fewer switch modules

Blade servers – HX5, HS22, HS22V
