 More
performance with more manageability. IBM once again takes it
to the next level with the System-x (xseries) high-performance flagship,
the x445! The new 445 scalable enterprise server delivers modular
XpandOnDemandT scalability, industry-leading IA-32 price/performance,
mission-critical availability, and now enhanced remote manageability
to meet and exceed the requirements of on-demand business. Optimized
for server consolidation and high-end databases, the System-x (xseries)
445 offers scale-up SMP or scale-out virtualization with the
high performance of the fastest Intel Xeon MP processors.
Powered
by second-generation Enterprise X-ArchitectureT, this 4U rack-optimized,
industry-standard server supports "pay-as-you-grow" scalability
up to 16-way by connecting two System-x (xseries) 445 chassis as a single
8U configuration or up to 32-way by connecting four chassis
into a 16U configuration. This innovative, modular server
architecture delivers the ultimate enterprise solution: high-performance,
high-availability, remote manageability, and investment protection.
