IBM System X Enterprise Servers – x3850 X6

Features & benefits

Feature	Benefits
Intel Xeon E7-4800/8800 v2 product families up to 3.2 GHz, up to 1800 MHz memory access, 60 cores per chassis	Outstanding compute performance and the ability to scale from 4-way capable to 8-way capable
Supports up to 6 TB of memory-channel storage using 400 GB eXFlash DIMMs Supports up to 12.8 TB of memory-channel storage using 400 GB eXFlash DIMMs	Maximum memory availability Quickly scale to meet increased system demands Leadership storage performance delivered through the fastest flash response times for business-critical analytics, ERP and virtualization workloads
Modular compute, storage and I/O books	The X6 books are modular components that provide clients the ability to add, modify or upgrade their X6 platforms easily. There are three types of X6 compute books for each of the major subsystems—storage, compute and I/O. Configure the server to fit the unique requirements of your applications and workloads; modify the server at any time with selectable modular X6 CPU and memory books, minimizing acquisition costs and increasing utilization of the hardware Ability to host multiple generations of processor and memory technology in the same server to grow capability within the same footprint Reduced downtime with hot-swappable I/O book replacement Pay-as-you-grow system expandability for clients who want to start small and grow later
Up to 11 total PCIe expansion slots (8 rear, 3 front)	Highest I/O bandwidth within the System x portfolio Ability to support multiple advanced I/O options for high-end graphics and acceleration
Built-in Predictive Failure Analysis	Reduce unscheduled events due to self-healing. Eliminate restarts and ease serviceability by minimizing the number of system “touches.”
