Leadership enterprise server with significantly lower cost of ownership in a highly available and expandable, rack-dense, 1U dual-socket server the Virtual Media Key and the ServeRAID-BR10i controller can be installed and replaced without tools. This means less time (and therefore less money) spent servicing the x3550 M2. Similarly, hot-swap/redundant HDDs, fans and power supplies, as well as online mirrored memory, mean greater system uptime while these components are being serviced.

Leadership enterprise server with significantly lower cost of ownership in a highly available and expandable, rack-dense, 1U dual-socket server a 2.26GHz processor can run the cores at 2.4GHz. With only one or two cores active, the same processor can run those cores at 2.53GHz. Similarly, a 2.93GHz processor can run at 3.06GHz or even 3.33GHz. When the cores are needed again, they are dynamically turned back on and the processor frequency is adjusted accordingly. Intel Extended Memory 64

Leadership enterprise server with significantly lower cost of ownership in a highly available and expandable, rack-dense, 1U dual-socket server This new processor design comes with some trade-offs in memory capacity, performance, and cost: For example, greater memory capacity comes with lower memory speed. Alternatively, it is possible to achieve the same memory capacity at lower cost but at a lower memory speed. Regardless of memory speed, the Xeon 5500 platform represents a significant i

In most servers, the fans run fast all the time to allow for use at high elevations, wasting power. The altimeter allows the IBM fans to run at lower speeds at lower altitudes. Why not simply run the fans at 100% capacity all the time? For several good reasons: to reduce the ambient noise, reduce the
