When it comes to business productivity, more is always better—especially
if you can achieve it without using more money, space or energy.
Innovative and cost-efficient, the IBM® System x3690 X5 delivers 
four-processor performance, memory capacity and reliability features in a
slim, breakthrough two-processor system that incorporates Intel Xeon
processors and fifth-generation IBM X-Architecture® (eX5) technology.
By purchasing a system with two fewer processors, you can cut your
licensing costs in half while using less energy for a lower total cost 
of ownership. And you won’t have to trade performance for a denser 
form factor. The x3690 X5 offers leadership performance, including the
ability to better handle database transactions than industry-standard two-
processor servers.

The x3690 X5 features greater flexibility to help you meet changing
workload demands as your business grows. With MAX5, you can double
the memory capacity of your two-processor system to 64 DIMM slots.
Increase utilization and optimize your investments by fitting 100 percent
more virtual machines per system at half the cost per virtual machine with
MAX5 memory expansion.1 An easy upgrade path and customizable
growth options offer freedom of choice. For example, you can add more
memory without having to purchase unneeded processing capabilities.
