IBM Systems and Technology Data Sheet eX5: The fth generation of IBM X-Architecture High-end portfolio of systems that provide breakthrough innovation for smarter computing Efficient solutions with scalable memory and performance with built-in high IOPS storage options Integrated workload optimized systems facilitate deployment to achieve faster time to value Intelligent systems with enterprise-class reliability, node failover and FlexNode partitioning High-end workloads drive ever-increasing—and ever-changing— constraints. In addition to requiring greater memory capacity, these workloads challenge you to do more with less and to nd new ways to simplify deployment and ownership. And while higher system availability and comprehensive systems management have always been critical, they have become even more important in recent years. Difficult challenges like these create new opportunities for innovation. IBM eX5 delivers this innovation. This portfolio of high-end computing includes the fth generation of IBM® X-Architecture® technology. It is the culmination of more than a decade of x86 innovation and rsts that have changed the expectations of the industry. With this latest generation, eX5 is again leading the way as the shift toward virtualization, platform management and energy efficiency accelerates. Today’s challenges, tomorrow’s opportunities Combining the fth generation of IBM X-Architecture with the next-generation Intel® Xeon® processors, eX5 offers a high-end enterprise server portfolio designed for environments with continually evolving workload requirements. Flexible congurations and a modular building block design enable multiple implementations with affordable starting points to enterprise technology, while a range of form factors and different sizes deliver broad coverage for most enterprise applications, server consolidation and virtualization environments.
