For client applications requiring massive
scale out of 100’s or 1000’s of parallel
processing nodes in Web 2.0 Data
Centers, Clusters, and Large Grids
Transition virtualization and enterprise workloads
(SAP, Oracle, SQL, etc…) requiring high availability
and large memory footprints to High-end System x.
Infrastructure
Simplification,
Application Serving,
Energy Efficiency
Scale Out
System x Rack
and Tower
Single Applications
Find opportunities for single
application deployments and sell value
of an “Xccelerated refresh” to new

Che cosa abbiamo annunciato…
- Nuova 2-socket, 30mm blade basata su processori Intel Nehalem
EP
- Il prossimo “cavallo di battaglia” per IBM BladeCenter
- Follow-on delle HS21 e HS21 XM
Importanza dell’annuncio…
- Fornisce un “robusto set” di features che fa girare eccezionalmente
bene molti workloads
 2 processori supportano la maggior parte degli ultimi Intel server processor SKUs
 2 hot-swap internal storage bays supportano SAS, SATA e solid state
 12 memory DIMMs running up to 1333MHz
 PLUS MORE… (including, embedded hypervisor and battery-backed cache)
-
Time-to-market with the industry’s leading processor vendor
IBM imperative…
- Re-establish competitiveness of mainstream blade server offering
- Continue to build on our value of investment protection and
compatibility with full support in our enterprise and office chassis
