Flexible, high-performance 2-way Xeon server with a range of high-availability options for mission critical applications

Leverage 64-bit performance The IBM System-x (xseries) 236 delivers enhanced performance for workgroup messaging, collaboration and businesscritical applications. New support for 64-bit technology through Intel EM64T provides outstanding performance and reliability for critical mail and collaboration applications. The 64-bit capability, combined with system enhancements including large memory support up to 16GB1 DDR2 memory and new high-speed I/O with PCIExpress, provides balanced system performance.

Keep systems up and running Advanced availability enhancements on the x236 provide high system reliability to keep critical applications online. Choices in integrated RAID-0, -1 or -10 or optional RAID adapters offer new levels of versatility, including new IBM ServeRAID-7k supporting RAID-5 without taking up a PCI slot. New memory availability features, hot-spare and memory mirroring, help minimise errors when running memory-intensive applications. Support for up to nine hot-swap SCSI drives and hot-swap fans and power supplies help keep components available when maintenance is needed.
