Optimised for speed
Designed for applications ranging from Web serving to workload consolidation and virtualization, the IBM System x3550 offers high-speed, dual-core and quad-core processors with blazing front-side bus speed. Optimised for exceptional application computing, the x3550 features a highly functional infrastructure that addresses more memory, lowers power consumption and provides dramatic systems performance increases.
Innovation comes standard
Standard integrated data protection with hardware redundant array of independent disks (RAID) and 2.5" Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives (HDDs) keeps your data safe and readily available. Super-efficient network communication and hot-swap redundant power help keep your business humming at lower support costs.
Product features
- Reduced power usage with power-efficient, low-voltage processors and low-power 2.5" HDDs;
- Optimised power management with new integrated tools such as the IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager solution;
- Better application performance with snoop filters;
- Calibrated Vectored Cooling (CVC) helps maintain healthy system by keeping internal components cool.
