Focus on promoting new Haswell and DDR4 models to the most performance sensitive and competitive customers

– Focus DDR3 models for cost sensitive opportunities using 16GB DIMMs

– DDR4 DIMMs should deliver lower cost in 2H2015 for 32GB and 64GB DIMMs

Highlight NVMe PCIe SSD in competitive scenarios against Dell

Other things to consider: – New Haswell models have the same MT6241 as Lenovo branded Ivy Bridge models. This

should minimize certification concerns

– Lenovo Ivy Bridge models will have standard Haswell upgrade option

X6 Announces New Servers with Haswell EX processors

What’s New BenefitNew Intel Haswell E7-4800/8800 v3 processors Offering the latest Intel EX technology that provides up to ~56% increase

in performance

Two memory options: DDR3 & DDR4 X6 will support the latest memory technology for increased performance and current memory technology as a lower cost alternative

Upgrade of Lenovo branded Ivy Bridge x3850/3950 X6 X6 servers can be upgraded to the latest processors within the current chassis

NVMe PCIe SSD support X6 offers another storage alternative that delivers low latency and high IOPS than SAS or SATA drives

DDR4 32 GB RDIMM The new 32GB RDIMM allows mixing of 16GB and 32GB RDIMMs for lower cost configurations

New Systems Management Lenovo XClarity provides a simple and improved systems management.

New ethernet adapter options: 4x10GbE SFP+ and 2x40GbE ML2 Mezz LOM adapters

X6 offers a variety of options that meet the needs of your applications; lower power requirements, low latency and higher bandwidth.

Maintain MT6241, same as Lenovo branded models Eliminates the need for re-certification
