Many of the integrated features and
innovations offered in the x3850 also
help deliver investment protection by
making organizations ready for the next
evolution in enterprise applications and
serving technologies—the migration to
64-bit applications on industry-standard
x86 hardware. The x3850 now features
IBM PowerExecutive™, allowing you to
optimize power and cooling. Plus,
IBM Calibrated Vectored Cooling helps
keep internal components cool for
optimum performance and greater
longevity.
The x3850 also helps protect the value
of your software investment with a
framework that supports new 64-bit
enterprise applications along with 32-bit
legacy applications and system tools as
well. New PCI-Express slots provide the
platform to support emerging high-
performance server I/O technology. And
the x3850 features Active PCI-X 2.0—
preserving compatibility with the
existing installed-base of PCI and
PCI-X 1.0 adapters.
Take advantage of integrated management
Advanced, integrated features in the
x3850 also help streamline and simplify
systems management while helping
reduce its associated costs. Industry-
leading manageability features include:
●
IPMI 2.0-compliant basic hardware
monitoring and alerting with an
integrated Remote Supervisor
Adapter (RSA) II SlimLine (model
dependent), helping protect server
availability through system moni-
toring and delivering true remote
management capabilities saving
administrators time and providing
them greater flexibility
●
IBM Director software, which offers
extensive hardware management
within a convenient user interface.
It supports multiple operating sys-
tems and a consistent framework
that can be extended with plug-ins
for more advanced management.
For example, Virtual Machine
Manager is a freely available mod-
ule allowing administrators to
simultaneously manage physical
and VMware-based logical servers
using the same console.
IBM Director gives administrators
faster application deployment and
adaptability for remote monitoring
with customizable alerts.
Select configurations of the x3850
are part of the IBM Express
Portfolio™, designed, developed
and priced to meet the specific
needs of mid-sized businesses.
Express models and configurations
vary by country.
