Outstanding performance, superior mainframe-like reliability, and

fault-tolerant memory characteristics

IBM® has been designing and implementing servers under the X-Architecture

® name since

2001. eX5 technology represents the fifth generation of enterprise servers 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 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 Xeon processor-based servers for running business critical

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

into IBM’s eX5 technology systems. eX5 technology 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 two rack-optimized chassis (4U 4-socket x3850

X5 x3950 X5 and ), which are offered in different scaled configurations up to , with 8 sockets

the architectural capability to scale further. In addition, for those workloads that require the

maximum available memory, the x3850 X5 and support a 1U memory x3950 X5 MAX5

expansion unit, which adds an additional 32 DIMM slots per chassis (up to DIMMs / 96 3TB

total). Alternatively, if you also need more processor sockets, you can add a x3850 second

X5 or x3950 X5 to form one server with double the memory (up to ), 8U 8-socket 4TB

HDDs/SSDs, adapter slots, and all the other system resources. For the ultimate in scalability,

you can add two MAX5 memory expansion units to a 2-node/8-socket server, for up to 6TB of

memory, ideal for large virtualization, ERP, and database needs.

IBM allows you to logically divide an server into FlexNode partitioning 8-socket two 4-

socket servers remotely and automatedly, and then revert back to a single 8-socket server,

all without requiring a physical visit to the server. Maybe you’d like to start out with a 4-socket

server and possibly add sockets later, if your needs change. Or perhaps you need than more

a 4-socket server now, but don’t want to get locked into a monolithic 8-socket or larger

server—again, in case your requirements change. With IBM, you can stop at 4 sockets, or

expand memory or CPU sockets further if needed. And if you require a variety of 4- and 8-

socket servers in your data center, you can qualify a single server for all these workloads.

This can save much time and effort and speed up deployment. You can also save money on

software licensing by virtualizing a 4- or 8-processor server into many VMs, rather than using

multiple 2-processor servers. Huge amounts of memory also enable more and larger VMs,

and larger databases.

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 capability

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

XpandOnDemand, you can start small 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 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.

These eX5 servers are designed to protect your data with high performance, high reliability,

and high availability. They support the latest -, , and Intelten-, eight six- four-core ® Xeon® E7

family and series processors, up to memory access, and up to of 7500 1066MHz 30MB L3

cache to help provide you with the computing power you need to match your business needs

and growth. The new Xeon and series processors offer up to E7-8800 E7-4800 40% greater

performance than the previous-generation Intel 7500 series processors.

In addition, the x3850 X5 and x3950 X5 use industry-standard memory with DDR3 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 memory mirroring, , and selectable .

A integrated high-speed controller with (TCP Offload dual-port Gigabit Ethernet TOE

Engine) acceleration is standard. In addition, a virtual fabric adapter is dual-port 10bE

standard in most models. The 10GbE solution provides the benefits and flexibility of I/O

convergence in a single end-to-end solution. The x3850 offers high-performance seven PCIe

adapter slots (six available, if the 10GbE NIC is installed).

The x3850 X5 and x3950 X5 offer industry-leading scalability, including support 4-processor

(upgradeable to in two chassis/nodes), up to of memory 8 processors / 80 cores 2TB per

chassis (upgradeable to in two nodes, or with MAX5), and a choice of up to 2TB 3TB eight

2.5-inch Serial-Attach SCSI Serial ATA II hot-swap internal (SAS) or (SATA II) hard disk

drives with an internal storage capacity of (up to drives and overall, 4TB per chassis 16 6TB

in a two-chassis configuration), or ( ) with a sixteen 1.8-inch solid-state drives SSDs

capacity of per chassis ( in two nodes) 3.2TB 6.4TB .

All models include a controller, which supports hardware . ServeRAID-BR10i V2 RAID-0/1/1E

This controller is installed in a dedicated RAID slot, and can be upgraded with optional IBM

ServeRAID SAS/SATA/SSD RAID controllers, which add up to of battery-backed 512MB

cache, support, and optionally and full disk encryption, via RAID-10/5/50 RAID-6/60 SED

(Self-Encrypting Disk). The size of the chassis helps you maximize your rack investments. 4U

Up to of these chassis can be installed in a single 42U rack, for a total of up to 10 40

processors ( cores), PCIe slots, and HDDs or SSDs, offering an ideal balance 400 70 80 160

of performance, storage and I/O slots per rack.

Standard in both the x3850 X5 and the x3950 X5 is the Integrated Management Module

(IMM) that enables the user to manage and control the server easily—both locally and

remotely. The IMM offers a high level of manageability that is designed to keep costs down

and the system up—even when network usage increases. 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 IBM

OnForever™ features, such as , hot-swap/redundant HDDs power fans Active and ;

Memory™; withtemperature-controlled fans Calibrated Vectored Cooling

™; IPMI 2.0

support, including and ; as well as highly secure remote power control Serial over LAN

text- and graphics-console redirect over LAN.

Another improvement with the new generation of X-Architecture is the replacement of legacy

BIOS with a new generation (UEFI). UEFI provides Unified Extensible Firmware Interface

a more intuitive user interface and understandable event logs and better management.

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

Director IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™ IBM ServerGuide, , and ™, the

x3850/x3950 X5 is designed for maximum uptime.

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

sockets, enormous memory expansion, and large I/O capacity in a rack-dense environment,

these are the ideal systems.
