IBM 7917B4G – IBM Flex System x440 Compute Node, Xeon 6C Process

IBM Flex System x440 Compute Node. Processor family: Intel® Xeon® E5 Family, Processor frequency: 2.2 GHz, Processor model: E5-4607. Internal memory: 8 GB, Internal memory type: DDR3-SDRAM, Memory layout (slots x size): 1 x 8 GB. HDD size: 2.5″, HDD interface: Serial Attached SCSI (SAS). Ethernet LAN. Chassis type: BladeTo meet today’s complex and ever-changing business demands, the IBM® Flex System™ x440 compute node, part of the IBM Flex System and of the IBM PureFlex™ System, is optimized for high-end virtualization, mainstream database deployments, and memory-intensive high performance environments. The Flex System x440 compute node is based on the Intel Xeon E5-4600 Series Processor with a max. of four processors and a price/performance optimized 4-socket compute node with flexible I/O options to help you match system capabilities to workloads without compromise.
With a dense design, the Flex System x440 compute node can help reduce floor space used, and lower data center power and cooling costs. The Flex System x440 is available on either your PureFlex System or IBM Flex System solution. Ideal platform for high-end virtualization and mainstream database. The Flex System x440 compute node is performance-tuned and features no compromise compute, memory and I/O capacity to meet your needs.
It is designed to deliver an outstanding combination of performance, built-in capabilities, and cost-effectiveness, featuring automated power management with onboard sensors to give you more control over power and thermal levels across the system. Combined with memory capacity up to 1.5 TB, the Flex System x440 compute node is designed to help you get the most out of your systems.
Virtual fabric networking enables breakthrough flexibility
With integrated virtual fabric you can take advantage of up to 64 virtual network adapters while making use of ultiple protocols, including Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet and iSCSI. The system also allows you to enable features on demand for a more flexible I/O solution. Virtual fabric can require up to 75 percent fewer network adapters, cables and upstream switch ports to help control costs.1 You also get significantly simpler management with reduced cabling and fewer components to manage.
Flexible storage improves the agility of your business
Built-in storage is available through two 2.5-inch hot swap hard drives or solid state drives. Available optional features include support for RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50 fully backed by cache and a high-density application acceleration solution with IBM Flex System Flash. These features allow you to tailor internal storage to match your specific capacity, performance, and reliability needs and support distributed database applica-tions without sacrificing system density.
