You need to reduce the costs of doing business and improve theservice you deliver to your customers while lowering your overall risk. The dual-socket IBM®System x3650 M3 can reduce your costs with its new energy-smart design. It can improve servicewith reduced operational complexity and increased management functionality. It will lower your ITrisk with the resiliency that comes from no single point of failure. And like all IBM servers, thex3650 M3 offers you the trust that comes from the IBM global reach, service and support.The x3650 M3 is a game-changing rack server that uses significantly less power than previousgenerations, with unified systems management tools, leadership reliability, availability,serviceability features and broad system flexibility, housed in a compact 2U mechanical package.The x3650 M3 features Intel® Xeon® 5600 series 6-core and 4-core processors, with up to 12MBof shared L3 cache, to provide you with the computing power you need to match your businessneeds and growth. The new line of Intel processors delivers unprecedented intelligentperformance with features like adaptive performance for applications and environments, TurboBoost Technology and Hyper-Threading Technology, and integrated power gates and automatedpower management.The x3650 M3 supports up to 18 DIMMs / 192GB of RDIMM 1333MHz DDR3 memory (or up to 12DIMMs / 48GB of UDIMM memory) and provides Chipkill™ ECC (Error Checking and Correcting)protection—for high performance and reliability. For even higher levels of availability, the x3650M3 also offers memory mirroring. Up to 4 integrated high-speed Gigabit Ethernet controllersare available (offering TOE (TCP Offload Engine) support on Microsoft® Windows®), as are fourhigh-performance adapter slots (PCIe x8). The x3650 M3 offers an optional embeddedhypervisor to manage your virtual workloads.The System x3650 M3 supports up to 16 high-performance hot-swap HDDs with an internalstorage capacity of 16TB1 (2.5-inch hot-swap Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) or Serial-AttachedATA (SATA) drives). Alternatively, up to 16 solid-state drives (SSDs) are also available to keeppower low, improve resiliency, and offer up to 800GB of storage. To address your backup needs,up to eight HDDs or SSDs and one internal tape drive or removable disk cartridge drive can beused. The server includes a choice of several IBM ServeRAID® storage controllers that providebroad levels of hardware-based RAID solutions. The ultra-dense 2U form factor allowsbusinesses to increase their computing power and spread their workload without outgrowing theircurrent data center. Up to 21 of these 2U servers can be installed in a single 42U rack, for a totalof up to 42 processors and 252 processor cores, offering tremendous deployment flexibility.Standard in the x3650 M3 is the Integrated Management Module (IMM) that enables the user tomanage and control the server easily—both locally and remotely. In conjunction with the IMM, thex3650 M3 comes with a Bosch BMP085 altitude sensor (altimeter) that governs fan rotationbased on altitude, to help lower your energy consumption. The IMM offers a high level ofmanageability that is designed to keep costs down and the system up—even when network usageincreases. IBM’s innovative pop-out/drop-down light path diagnostics panel enables quickservicing of the system if a problem develops. These advanced features help maximize networkavailability by increasing uptime, as do hot-swap solid-state drives; hot-swap/redundant SAS orSATA HDDs, redundant ultra-efficient power supplies and fan modules; Active Memory™;integrated RAID; temperature-controlled fans with Calibrated Vectored Cooling™; IPMI 2.0support, including highly secure remote power control and Serial over LAN; as well as text-console redirect over LAN.1 Available 2Q/2011.
