Agenda1. IBM System x volume portfolio

- Small 1- and 2- socket tower and rack servers

2. IBM BladeCenter solutions

- Complex solution with all kind of servers, including network and storage

3. IBM eX5 scalable systems

- If you need to grow beyond 2-sockets in server

Broad coverage for most enterprise applications, server

consolidation, virtualized workload enablement.

4U / 4-WayScalable

Consolidation, virtualization, and database workloads as well as applications being migrated off of proprietary hardware are demanding more memory addressability.

Increasing utilization for greater 2 socket performance allows some workloads to migrate onto our powerful 2-way server delivering enterprise class performance, availability, and reliability.

Demand for minimum footprint as well as integrated networking infrastructure has increased the growth of the blade form factor.

Scalable Blade broadens platform choice

Scalable 4S increases utilization and productivity

Scalable 2S customizes workload performance

eX5 leadership for an evolving marketplace with increasing demands



FlexNode benefits include:

Scheduled Provisioning: Run scale-out apps by day on a 2P system and scale-up jobs by night on 4P system

Optimize utilization: Repurpose under utilized systems for more productive use

Optimize SW licensing costs: Execute partitions to optimize SW licensing costs when priced per socket

Faster Qualification: Qualify a single platform for 2- and 4-socket server needs

Built-in virtualization: Run multiple OSs on the same box without hypervisor overhead

Greater security: Workload isolation to assure quality of service

Two 2P SystemsOne 4P System

FlexNode - feature allows a single System to dynamically become two distinct Systems or back again



FlexNode Automatic Node FailoverAutomatic node failover maximizes systems uptime

What is it… If one node in a multi-node system experiences a fatal error and a shutdown, the system

will reboot as a single-node After reboot the remaining system continues to operate without the failed nodeCustomer value… Greater uptime: Automatic reboot brings the eX5 system back online faster than manual

intervention. Monolithic multi-socket systems down until the fatal error resolved. Simpler management: Easier identification of the failure
