The IBM eServer System-x (xseries) 366 is the third-generation of
IBM's leadership 3U rack-optimized high performance 4-way
server delivering an industry-leading combination of breakthrough
x86 performance, enhanced mission-critical availability,
and 64-bit compatibility to unlock competitive advantage
in your application-serving tier. The x366 is the first System-x (xseries)
system based upon the IBM eServer X3 architecture, the third
generation of mainframe-inspired IBM Enterprise X-ArchitectureT Technology.
Driving mission-critical applications including Enterprise
Resource Planning, collaboration or custom-developed, Java®-based
applications like IBM WebSphere® software, the x366 excels
at performing transaction-intensive, traditional back-office
functions.
Powered by the IBM XA-64eT third-generation Enterprise X-Architecture chipset,
the x366 is your stateful transaction accelerator delivering exceptional 64-bit
4-way performance on either 32-bit or 64-bit applications. The x366 is also the
first-to-market industry-standard x86 server powered by the latest 64-bit Intel
Xeon MP processor delivering the reliability of the Intel Xeon processor architecture
on a dual-core capable, 64-bit compatible application workhorse. More simply
put, the x366 changes the game for 64-bit computing by delivering high performance
and high availability on a mainstream, industry-standard x86 server platform.
At the crossroads of this industry transition, are you ready for 64-bit? You're
ready now. IBM eServer X3 and the System-x (xseries) 366.

32-bit applications plus dual-core capability
providing headroom and investment protection
|
| 64-bit Intel Xeon MP |
- First-to-market with the next-generation 64-bit
Intel Xeon processor MP up to 3.66GHz with 1MB
level-2 cache powering break-through 4-way performance
up to 38% higher than the x365 (as measured by
tpmC)
- Support for Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T)
that introduces 64-bit memory addressability
into the mainstream x86 server market
- Faster execution with hyper-threading technology
based upon the Intel NetBurstT micro-architecture
that supports execution of multiple programs
or threads within a single processor
|
| XceL4vT Dynamic Server Cache |
- Virtual level-4 cache leverages an IBM-exclusive
integrated snoop filter to minimize front-side
bus congestion and maximize CPU performance,
a key ingredient for higher performance on the
new dual front-side bus architecture
- Intelligent caching dramatically reduces system
latencies to improve performance, as illustrated
by the industry-leading benchmarks of the x366
|
| Application & OS Flexibility |

of up to 80 virtual servers
|
| Up to 64GB DDR2 ECC SDRAM, 2GB standard |
- Lowering cost without sacrificing availability,
the x366 supports Chipkill and Memory ProteXionT standard
at no additional cost using off-the-shelf industry-standard
DIMMs for the detection and correction of single-bit
and double-bit memory errors
- OS-independent, Hot-swap memory enables the
replacement of failed DIMMs while the system
is still running to maximize availability of
this mission-critical server
- Hot-add memory supported with Microsoft Windows
Server 2003 powers the dynamic addition of main
memory to increase performance
- Memory mirroring dramatically reduces unscheduled
downtime for memory failures through high availability
redundant memory banks
- IBM-exclusive Memory ProteXionT uses spare
bits for redundancy that re-route data around
a failed chip on a DIMM in the event of a failure
|
| Six ActiveT PCI-X 2.0 slots standard |
- First to market with support for PCI-X 2.0,
the new specification standard for high performance
server I/O with backward compatibility for legacy
PCI-X and PCI adapters
