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.
