®
Xeon
®
proces-
sor technology with extreme processing power and superior energy-
management and cooling features. With twice the performance of
previous generations and a flexible, energy-smart design that integrates
low-wattage components, the x3550 M3 can help you meet demanding
workloads at a lower cost per watt.
Simplifying management and serviceability
The x3550 M3 offers a flexible, scalable design and simple upgrade
path from four to eight hard disk drives. Comprehensive systems man-
agement tools such as advanced diagnostics and the ability to control
resources from a single point make it easy to deploy, integrate, service
and manage.
Reduce risk and maintain availability
Integrated with new 6 Gbps RAID adapters and double the I/O per-
formance, the x3550 M3 provides a resilient architecture ideal for
mission-critical applications as well as virtualization environments.
Advanced memory support and greater disk capacity let you take
advantage of higher processing speeds without sacrificing uptime.
Select configurations of the x3550 M3 are part of the IBM Express
Advantage™ Portfolio designed to meet the needs of midsized busi-
nesses. Easy to manage, Express™ models and configurations vary by
country.
