Part # x460

Features:
Highest performing 8-processor Intel®-based x64 server that scales up to 32 processors
*Leadership x64 performance from four processors up to 32 processors for 32-bit or 64-bit database, ERP and CRM
*With performance headroom to spare, the x460 is optimised for virtualisation to lower costs through server consolidation
*The x64 scalable platform of choice for the migration to mainstream 64-bit applications and the future of multi-core processing
XpandOnDemand™ scalability
*The first-to-market 64-bit Intel Xeon™ Processor MP-based server that scales greater than four processors
*Revolutionising data center servers with an improved pay-as-you-grow building block design offering low entry price points, more flexible partitioning and scalability with upgradability to powerful 16 processors or 32 processors
*Purchase only the CPU, memory and I/O capacity that you need, when you need it, without the upfront costs of expensive switch-based architectures
IBM XA-64e™ third generation chipset
*Unleashing the power of IBM eServer X3 Architecture: the third-generation of IBM Enterprise X-Architecture™ design
*Leadership performance with an integrated processor/memory controller reducing latencies by almost three times over the previous generation
*Integrated snoop filtering speeds cache coherency and reduces front-side bus contention
*Simultaneous compatibility for 64-bit and legacy 32-bit applications plus dual-core capability providing flexibility and potential investment protection
64-bit Intel Xeon Processor MP
*Up to 3.33GHz/667MHz front-side bus (single-core) with 8MB L3 cache and up to 3.00GHz/667MHz front-side bus (dual-core) with 2x2MB L2 cache powering breakthrough 8-processor performance
*Support for Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology that introduces 64-bit memory addressability into the mainstream x64 server market
*Faster execution with hyper-threading technology based upon the Intel NetBurst™ micro-architecture that supports execution of multiple threads within a single processor core
XceL4v™ Dynamic Server Cache
*Leverages an IBM-exclusive integrated snoop filter to minimise front-side bus congestion and maximise CPU performance, a key ingredient for higher performance on the new dual front-side bus architecture
*Directory-based intelligent caching dramatically reduces system latencies to improve performance, as illustrated by the industry-leading benchmarks of the x460
*Dynamically allocates 256MB of virtual L4 cache per four processors (2GB maximum) when configured as eight processors or greater
Application and OS flexibility
*The high-performance 64-bit solution for database, ERP, CRM and server consolidation with support for legacy 32-bit applications
*The leading x64 server platform for Windows® application deployments supporting Microsoft® Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and x64) as well as Windows 2000
*64-bit enterprise Linux® support with Red Hat® Enterprise Linux
*Support for industry-leading virtualisation solutions including VMware™ ESX Server™ for server consolidation and logical partitioning of underutilised physical servers into a virtual infrastructure
Up to 64GB DDR II ECC SDRAM per chassis, 2GB standard
*Two-processor interleaving with the higher performance, higher density Double Data Rate II industry-standard memory modules result in easier upgrades in pairs of DIMMs
*With expansion up to 16 DIMM slots per system, the x460 supports a maximum of 64GB with either a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system per chassis, up to 512GB maximum for the 32-processor configuration
*Lowering cost without sacrificing availability, the x460 supports Active Memory™ including ECC, Chipkill™ and Memory ProteXion™ standard at no additional cost using off-the-shelf industry-standard DIMMs for the detection and correction of single-bit and double-bit memory errors
*OS-independent, hot-swap memory enables the replacement of failed DIMMs while the system is still running to maximise availability of this mission-critical server
*Hot-add memory supported with Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 powers the dynamic addition of main memory to increase performance
*Memory mirroring dramatically reduces unscheduled downtime for memory failures through high availability redundant memory banks
*IBM-exclusive Memory ProteXion uses spare bits for redundancy that re-route data around a failed chip on a DIMM in the event of a failure
Six Active™ PCI-X 2.0 slots standard per chassis
*First to market with support for PCI-X 2.0, the new specification standard for high-performance server I/O with backward compatibility for legacy PCI-X and PCI adapters
*Leverage six additional PCI-X 2.0 slots with each 4-CPU addition to your scalable configuration up to 48 PCI-X 2.0 slots maximum
*Quad-bus I/O southbridge of the XA-64e chipset supports all six slots up to the maximum 266 MHz matching the performance of PCI-Express 4X
*High availability hot-swap and hot-add capability help increase uptime by allowing you to add PCI, PCI-X, and PCI-X2 adapters without powering down
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives (HDDs)
*First to market with support for internal SAS HDDs, the latest in high-performance, enterprise-reliable server storage
*Support for up to six hot-swap 2.5" SAS HDDs for a maximum of 440GB of internal storage per chassis
*Easily upgrade to hardware-based RAID-0, -1, or -5 without consuming a PCI slot with the high-performance ServeRAID™-8i for SAS HDDs
Transaction-grade proven reliability and systems management
*Analogous to carrier-grade, the x460 is the industry's first scalable transaction-grade server for the commercial enterprise market delivering proven reliability and data integrity for database transactions
*Complete N+N and hot-swap redundancy in key subsystems mitigates downtime in the event of a power supply, cooling fan or memory failure
*Light path diagnostics provides a lighted path to failed or failing components starting with the front-accessible, drop-down light path panel to expedite hardware repairs and reduce service time
*Predictive Failure Analysis® provides proactive monitoring of critical system components enabling scheduled maintenance on processors, power supplies, memory, HDDs or fans before a failure results in downtime
*Support for IPMI with the robust Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine available standard for more advanced remote systems management
*IBM Director software marries hardware-based monitoring with comprehensive systems analysis and alerting
