16 times the memory addressing and
three times the CPU bus bandwidth
compared to previous server designs.
Using the IBM XA-64e™ chipset, this
X3 Architecture system benefits from
reduced processor front-side bus traffic
via integrated snoop filtering. The
XA-64e speeds communications
between the processors, main memory
and I/O, helping the x366 power com-
mercial IT applications.
Leverage high availability and increased
security
Delivering availability without compro-
mising performance, the x366 is an
industry-leading choice for mission-
critical environments. Combining high-
availability technologies with newly inte-
grated hardware-based security
features, the system helps enable high
uptime and protection of your enter-
prise applications. Industry-leading soft-
ware tools and true, hardware-based
remote systems management, monitor-
ing and alerting capabilities combine to
deliver further enhancements in avail-
ability. These advancements include:
●
The field-proven, dual front-side bus
architecture of the 64-bit Intel Xeon
Processor MP
●
DDR II-based IBM Active
Memory™ technology including
IBM Chipkill™ memory,
IBM Memory ProteXion™, Memory
Mirroring and hot-swap/hot-add
capability
●
Classic IBM mainframe-inspired
features, including light path diag-
nostics, IBM Predictive Failure
Analysis®, IBM Active™ PCI-X
and full hot-swap redundancy in all
major subsystems
Take advantage of integrated management
for greater value
Advanced, integrated features in the
x366 also help streamline and simplify
systems management while helping
reduce its associated costs. Industry-
leading systems manageability features
include:
●
IPMI-compliant basic hardware
monitoring and alerting with an
optional upgrade to the advanced
Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA)
II SlimLine, helping to protect
server availability through system
monitoring and delivering true
remote management capabilities
saving administrators time and pro-
viding them greater flexibility
●
A Trusted Platform Module (TPM),
helping to simplify and improve
security management with inte-
grated, hardware-based security
functionality that authenticates
users and protects against viruses
and other system threats
X3 Architecture: Innovation that
matters
Delivering an industry-leading,
64-bit framework for mid-tier
application development, the
x366 is built on the power of
X3 Architecture, the third
generation of mainframe-inspired
IBM Enterprise X-Architecture tech-
nology. X3 Architecture drives the
x366 to deliver outstanding per-
formance, availability and managea-
bility required for true 64-bit,
application-serving roles. With its
extensive chipset development
experience and high performance
and availability breakthroughs,
IBM is uniquely positioned to offer a
robust and powerful server, offering
innovation that delivers real busi-
ness and IT results.
