Datasheet
Option kit delivers the ability to scale
from 4 sockets to 8 sockets and
up to 16 sockets with the flexible
XpandOnDemand design; it’s a pay-as-
you-grow offering that provides more
flexibility than the previous x3850, so
organizations have even more control
over IT costs. And the system’s bal-
anced design enables organizations to
operate efficiently and save money on
initial server configurations without hav-
ing to make up-front decisions about
scalability and long-term protection of
their IT investments. When clients add a
second chassis, the x3850 M2 doubles
the memory availability and I/O capabil-
ity and nearly doubles processing
power.
More power for additional applications
The enterprise server’s balanced design
offers more processing power with
quad-core processors and double the
number of memory slots, allowing it to
handle an incr
eased number of applica-
tions. In addition to keeping the ratio of
processor core to memory addressabil-
ity balanced, the x3850 M2 offers flexi-
bility to scale—providing access to
more processors, memory or I/O nec-
essary for workloads.
Consistent reliability
With the x3850 M2, organizations
can consolidate an increased number
of applications on one server with a
higher threshold for protecting data.
And with enhanced memory subsys-
tems, it can help eliminate bottlenecks
to operate quickly, efficiently and
seamlessly.
Designed with mission-critical availabil-
ity in mind, the x3850 M2 offers
advanced Active Memory™ features,
including:
●
Memory ProteXion™ to help pre-
vent data loss. An advanced design
provides a deeper level of diagnos-
tics to help keep the memory up
and running longer while enabling
data integrity
●
IBM Chipkill™ memory to help
correct multiple, single-bit errors
using off-the-shelf DIMMs
●
Memory Mirroring with hot-swap
support to help protect data
through the ability to write simulta-
neously to independent redundant
memory cards
●
Advanced Buffer eXecution (ABX)
Provides buffer on board technology
to help resist chip failure to improve
availability and reliability while
delivering 37% less power con-
sumption and up to 18% reduced
latency
