Outstanding performance, superior mainframe-like

reliability, and fault-tolerant memory characteristics

IBM

has been designing and implementing chipsets under the X-Architecture

™

name since

2001. eX4 technology represents the fourth generation of products based on the same design

principle IBM began with in 1997: to offer systems that are expandable, offer “big iron” reliability,

availability, and serviceability (RAS) features, with extremely competitive price/performance on

an Intel

Xeon

processor-based system.

The eX4 technology is primarily designed around three major workloads. These workloads are

database servers, server consolidation using virtualization services, and Enterprise Resource

Planning (application and database) servers.

If you are adopting industry-standard Xeon EM64T servers for running business critical

applications, the systems that run these applications need the type of technology designed into

IBM’s eX4 technology systems. The eX4 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 eX4 design includes two 4U 4-socket rack-optimized chassis (x3850 M2 and

x3950 M2) with the ability to scale up to 16 sockets and up to 96 cores. In fact, you can start

with a single-node x3850 M2 chassis, and by adding a ScaleXpander Option Kit, you can turn

it into an x3950 M2, ready to expand into a multi-node configuration providing more flexibility in

deploying your scalable solution than ever before.

The x3850 M2 now offers selected models integrated with VMware ESXi 3.5 preloaded on an

IBM 4GB USB 2.0 Flash Key. 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.

IBM X-Architecture pioneered XpandOnDemand

™

(“pay as you grow”) scalability, which allows

chassis to be simply cabled together to form larger scale-up systems. This unique capability

allows IBM to sell a large SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) system at entry price points. Other

Intel OEMs can’t match this capability. If they offer a 16-socket product at all, they require you to

start out with a 16-socket chassis, whether you’ll ever grow into it or not. With

XpandOnDemand, you can start small, with a 4- or 8-socket configuration, and later expand as

your needs change, without requiring you to buy more than you need up-front or throw away

parts later as you expand.

IBM’s eX4 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 9i RAC and 10g, or IBM DB2. Database hosting demands ultimate server reliability

features, and once installed, they grow and grow. The eX4 design offers two strong selling

arguments against the competition: lower initial purchase price, and potentially much lower long-

term TCO.

Another strong application area for the eX4-based systems is enterprise server consolidation

activities. Larger servers have 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.

One of the fastest growing application areas for eX4-based systems is ERP workloads, including

SAP and Oracle. eX4-based systems can offer considerable savings over UNIX deployments,

using our certified solution stacks on either Windows or Linux.

The 4-socket eX4 servers are designed to protect your data with high performance, high

reliability, and high availability. They support the latest six-, quad- and dual-core Intel

Xeon

™

processors, designed with high-performance quad 1066MHz front-side buses (FSB), 64-bit

extensions (EM64T), and either 8MB (dual-core); 4MB, 6MB, or 8MB (quad-core); or 9MB of

L2 cache; 8MB, 12MB or 16MB (six-core) of L3 cache, and up to 256MB of L4 cache per

chassis (all models), to help provide you with the computing power you need to match your

business needs and growth. In addition, the x3850 M2 and x3950 M2 use industry-standard

DDR II memory with Chipkill

™

ECC (Error Checking and Correcting) protection—for high

performance and reliability and lower energy consumption than fully buffered memory. For even

higher levels of availability, the eX4 servers also offer Memory ProteXion

™

, memory

scrubbing, and selectable memory mirroring. A dual-port integrated high-speed Gigabit

Ethernet controller with TOE (TCP Offload Engine) is standard, as are seven high-performance

PCIe x8 adapter slots (two of them hot-plug).

The x3850 M2 and x3950 M2 offer industry-leading scalability, including quad-processor

support (upgradeable to 16 processors/96 cores), up to 256GB of memory per chassis

(upgradeable to 1TB overall), 256MB of L4 cache per chassis (upgradeable to 1GB), and up to

four 2.5-inch internal high-performance Serial-Attach SCSI (SAS) hot-swap hard disk drives

with an internal storage capacity of 587.2GB per chassis (up to 16 drives and 2.3TB overall).

Hardware-based RAID-0/1 support is standard. An optional IBM ServeRAID-MR10k SAS RAID

controller adds 256MB of battery-backed cache to the onboard controller to provide five

additional RAID levels, including RAID-10/5/50/6/60. The 4U size of the chassis helps you

maximize your rack investments. Up to 10 of these chassis can be installed in a single 42U rack,

for a total of up to 40 processors, 70 PCIe slots (20 of them hot-plug), and 40 HDDs, offering an

ideal balance of performance, storage and I/O slots per rack. Optional Advanced Connectivity

Technology (ACT) interconnect cabling helps reduce cable clutter and cost and minimizes

installation time when interconnecting many rack-mounted servers.

Standard in both the x3850 M2 and the x3950 M2 is the Remote Supervisor Adapter II that

communicates with the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) to enable the user to

manage and control the server easily—both locally and remotely. This high level of

manageability is designed to help keep management costs down and the system up. The drop-

down light path diagnostics panel enables quick servicing of the system if a problem develops.

These advanced features help maximize network availability by increasing uptime, as do hot-

swap/redundant HDDs, power and fans; Active Memory

™

; temperature-controlled fans with

Calibrated Vectored Cooling

™

; IPMI 2.0 support, including highly secure remote power

control and Serial over LAN; as well as text- and graphics-console redirect over LAN.

With the inclusion of unique IBM service and support features such as IBM Systems Director,

IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™ for x86 (formerly known as

PowerExecutive), and IBM ServerGuide

™

, the x3850/x950 M2 is designed for maximum

uptime.

If you need a balance of high-performance four-socket processing, scalability beyond eight

sockets, and large I/O capacity in a rack-dense environment, these are the ideal systems.
