IBM x3950 server introduces improved modularity and partitioning with its 3U, 4 CPU, 6 I/O slot modular building-block design. Starting with a base two-processor configuration, add CPU, I/O and memory capacity incrementally as your business needs change, scaling up to 32 processors across eight chassis. Take advantage of the configuration flexibility of the x3950 server to build the optimal system for scale-up database and enterprise Resource Planning or scale-out virtualization for server consolidation.

The IBM x3950 offers four CPU additions, six PCI-X 2.0 slots and up to 16 DIMM slot. Improve utilization with more flexible, chassis-based partitioning up to eight x3950 chassis connected for SMP or arranged into multiple 4-processor, 8-processor and 16-processor partitions ? Maximum configuration for the x3950 is 32 processors, 128 DIMM slots supporting up to 512GB of memory and 48 PCI-X 2.0 slots across eight chassis

The x3950 supports 64-bit extensions, turning this x86 server into a data powerhouse ready for the transition to mainstream 64-bit applications from proprietary RISC/UNIX servers. The x3950 supports up to 512GB of total
memory to load entire databases into main memory for extremely fast transaction processing. Number of processors (std/max) 2/4 per chassis, 32 per configuration
