Scalable 2-to-4-socket blade server optimized for virtualization/

consolidation, database, and ERP

Suggested uses: Front-end and mid-tier applications requiring high performance (CPU, memory

or I/O), enterprise-class availability, and extreme flexibility and power efficiency.

IBM

has been designing and implementing chipsets under the X-Architecture

name since 2001.

eX5 technology represents the fifth generation of products based on the same design principle

IBM began with in 1997: to offer Intel

Xeon

processor-based systems that are expandable,

offer “big iron” reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features, with extremely competitive

price/performance.

The eX5 technology is primarily designed around three major workloads: database servers,

server consolidation using virtualization services, and Enterprise Resource Planning (application

and database) servers.

If you’re using industry-standard servers to run business critical applications, the systems that run

these applications need the type of technology designed into IBM’s eX5 technology systems. The

eX5 chipset represents a $100M+ investment in designing a flagship offering that can harness

the power of 4-socket-and-up 64-bit x86 (x64) Xeon processors. The eX5 family includes a

scalable performance blade server with the ability to scale from a single-wide blade (30mm) to

a double-wide blade (60mm).

Maybe you’d like to start out with a 2-socket blade and possibly add sockets later, if your needs

change. Or perhaps you need more than a 2-socket blade, but don’t want to get locked into a

monolithic 4-socket blade—again, in case your requirements change. With IBM, you can start at

2 sockets and grow to 4 if needed. And if you require a variety of 2- and 4-socket servers in your

data center, you only have to qualify one server for all these workloads. This can save much time

and effort and speed deployment. You can also save money on software licensing by virtualizing

a 4-processor server into many VMs, rather than using multiple 2-processor servers. Huge

amounts of memory also enable more or larger VMs, and larger databases (especially databases

stored entirely in memory).

Reducing an entire server into a little over .5U of rack space (i.e., up to 14 servers in 9U) does

not mean trading away features and capabilities for smaller size. The IBM BladeCenter

HX5

blade server offers features comparable to many 1U rack-optimized full-featured servers, and

then some: The HX5 supports up to two of the latest high-performance 10-core, 8-core, 6-core,

or 4-core Intel Xeon E7 family or 7500/6500 series processors. The Xeon processors are

designed with up to 30MB of shared cache and leading-edge memory performance (up to

1066MHz) to help provide the computing power you require to match your business needs and

growth. The new Xeon E7-4800 and E7-2800 series processors offer up to 40% greater

performance than the previous-generation Intel 7500/6500 series processors.

Because business requirements change and a 2-socket server that meets those needs today

may not meet them in the future, the HX5 was designed to be upgradeable to meet the diverse

needs of multiple workloads. For compute-intensive workloads, it can be configured as a 2-

wide blade server with up to 4 processors / 40 cores, 32 DIMMs (512GB), 4 PCIe cards, 16 I/O

ports, and 4 solid-state drives (SSDs). Conversely, for memory-intensive workloads, the

HX5 can be configured as a 2-wide server consisting of 1 blade server and 1 MAX5 memory

expansion blade, with up to 40 DIMMs (640GB) total. IBM FlexNode partitioning allows a

physical 4-socket configuration to be remotely reconfigured by software into two logical 2-socket

servers, as needs change or for daily peak and off-peak workloads.

The HX5 supports VMware vSphere Hypervisor (formerly ESXi) preloaded on a standard USB

flash drive. It operates in a diskless configuration, offers a smaller memory footprint, extremely

high performance, and stronger security, making getting a system up and running in a virtualized

environment faster and easier than ever before. You can save money on software licensing by

using the huge memory capacity to virtualize the server into many VMs, rather than using

multiple servers. Huge amounts of memory also enable larger VMs and larger databases.

IBM’s eX5 technology-based systems are the ideal solution for scale-up database-serving

applications on Microsoft

Windows

with Microsoft SQL Server

or IBM DB2

, as well as Linux

with Oracle or DB2. Database hosting demands ultimate server reliability features, and once

installed, they tend to grow and grow, requiring ever greater levels of availability. eX5 servers

provide exactly that degree to availability.

Another strong application area for the eX5-based systems is enterprise server consolidation

activities workloads, including SAP and Oracle. eX5 systems can offer considerable savings over

UNIX deployments, using our certified solution stacks on either Windows or Linux.. Larger

servers need more processor, memory and I/O resources, which make maximum use of any

applicable virtual machine software licensing fees and deliver superior system utilization levels.

The name of the game in consolidation activities is to deploy the fewest new servers possible and

help IT staff manage more images with the same or fewer overall people.

The HX5 uses industry-standard DDR3 memory with Chipkill

™

ECC (Error Checking and

Correcting) protection—for high performance and reliability. For even higher levels of availability,

the eX5 servers also offer Memory ProteXion

™

, memory scrubbing, memory rank sparing,

and selectable memory mirroring.

An integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet

controller is standard, providing high-speed data

transfers and offering TOE (TCP Offload Engine) support, load-balancing and failover

capabilities. Via optional expansion cards, each blade can also connect to additional Ethernet,

10Gb Ethernet, SAS, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, InfiniBand

™,

and other high-speed communication

switches housed in the chassis. This blade is designed with power management capability to

provide the maximum uptime possible for your systems. In extended thermal conditions or power

brownouts, rather than shut down completely, or fail, the HX5 automatically reduces the

processor frequency to maintain acceptable thermal and power levels.

All HX5 models offer impressive features at an equally impressive price, including up to two 1.8-

inch fixed solid-state drives (SSDs) with RAID-0/1 support, and one optional internal USB

flash drive (for embedded hypervisor]. Additional direct-attach storage is available via the

BladeCenter S chassis. Moreover, the HX5 is optimized for diskless operation, offering each

blade server access to essentially unlimited external storage capacity via Fibre Channel, SAS, or

iSCSI.

A single BladeCenter H chassis supports up to 14 hot-swappable 30mm-wide HX5 blades in

only 9U (BladeCenter H) of rack space, or up to 12 in the 12U BladeCenter HT high-speed

telecommunications chassis. In addition to the blade servers, these chassis also hold up to 10

(BladeCenter H) or 8 switches/bridges (BladeCenter HT) internally. The BladeCenter S,

designed for SMB and mid-market customers, takes integration and affordability to a new level,

combining up to 12 hot-swap SAS/SATA HDDs (with optional SAS card) and up to 6 blade

servers and 4 switches. Not only can this save significant data center space (and therefore the

cost of floor space and rack hardware) compared to 1U servers, it also consolidates

switches/bridges and cables for reduced complexity and lower cabling costs, and it allows clients

to manage everything in the solution as one. Using a BladeCenter H chassis, up to 56 HX5

servers (112 processors/896 cores) can be installed in one industry-standard 42U rack; but the

value of BladeCenter extends far beyond high density data center environments.

The various BladeCenter chassis are designed to monitor environmental conditions in the

chassis and each blade and send alerts to the administrator. Advanced standard features, such

as Active Memory, Predictive Failure Analysis, light path diagnostics, hot-swap redundant

SSDs and HDDs, power supplies and blower modules with Calibrated Vectored Cooling

™

;

IPMI 2.0 support, including highly secure remote power control; text-console redirect over

LAN, next-generation BIOS (UEFI), an Advanced Management Module (upgradeable with a

redundant AMM), IBM Systems Director management software including IBM Systems

Director Active Energy Manager™. Remote Deployment Manager and IBM ServerGuide

™

help maintain system availability with increased uptime.

If you need scalable, highly manageable, high-performance virtualization in a space- or power-

constrained environment, the HX5 is the ideal system.
