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
