IBM System x3850 M2 72336RG Manuale Utente

Option kit delivers the ability to scale 

from 4 sockets to 8 sockets and 

up to 16 sockets with the flexible 

XpandOnDemand design; it’s a pay-as­

you-grow offering that provides more 

flexibility than the previous x3850, so 

organizations have even more control 

over IT costs. And the system’s bal­

anced design enables organizations to 

operate efficiently and save money on 

initial server configurations without hav­

ing to make up-front decisions about 

scalability and long-term protection of 

their IT investments. When clients add a 

second chassis, the x3850 M2 doubles 

the memory availability and I/O capabil­

ity and nearly doubles processing 

power. 

The enterprise server’s balanced design 

offers more processing power with 

quad-core processors and double the 

number of memory slots, allowing it to 

handle an increased number of applica­

tions. In addition to keeping the ratio of 

processor core to memory addressabil­

ity balanced, the x3850 M2 offers flexi­

bility to scale—providing access to 

more processors, memory or I/O nec­

essary for workloads. 

With the x3850 M2, organizations 

can consolidate an increased number 

of applications on one server with a 

higher threshold for protecting data. 

And with enhanced memory subsys­

tems, it can help eliminate bottlenecks 

to operate quickly, efficiently and 

seamlessly. 

Designed with mission-critical availabil­

ity in mind, the x3850 M2 offers 

advanced Active Memory™ features, 

including: 

●  

●  

●  

Memory Mirroring with hot-swap 
support to help protect data 
through the ability to write simulta­
neously to independent redundant 
memory cards
