System x3550 M2, Intel Xeon E5502, 2048MB DDR3 RAM, SAS, CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo, Rack 1U
Energy-efficient profile
The IBM System x3550 M2 offers robust, proven technology and a flexible, energy-smart design. Delivering quad-core computing on Intel® Xeon® 5500 Series processors with QuickPath Interconnect technology, this server delivers significant performance improvement per watt compared to previous generation servers by integrating low-wattage components for an energy-smart thermal profile.
Powerful systems management
This server offers feature-rich systems management capabilities from power management to proactive hardware monitoring. The Integrated Management Module (IMM) increases server availability by continuously monitoring your system and notifying you of potential system failures or changes. The Virtual Media key option provides remote presence capabilities without taking up a slot on the planar, while IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™ provides advanced power monitoring and notification.
Leadership virtualization
Designed to provide leadership virtualization, the x3550 M2 supports the VMware ESXi 3.5 embedded hypervisor, the industry-leading solution for virtualization. In addition, the x3550 M2 provides exceptional memory capacity per core, enabling you to implement virtualization efficiently and cost-effectively.
Product features
- Outstanding power-optimized performance which can double compute capability of previous generation 2-socket servers;
- Help lower operational costs with innovative energy- smart 1U design;
- Improve service with a highly scalable, flexible design that is easy to deploy, integrate, service and manage;
- Manage risk with resilient architectures and virtualized environments.
