IBM eServer xSeries 460 8872 w/ 32-bit Preload

IBM eServer xSeries 460 8872 w/ 32-bit Preload ... represents the third-generation flagship of the industry-leading Enterprise X-Architecture design, delivering the formidable combination of XpandOnDemand scalability up to 32 processors, improved partitioning up to eight chassis, industry-leading x86 performance, and the investment protection of 64-bit extensions. Powered by the IBM eServer X3 Architecture, the x460 is your 64-bit transaction accelerator delivering unprecedented x86 performance from 4-way up to 32-way including support for EM64T for deploying 32-bit or 64-bit commercial applications such as database, ERP, CRM, and virtualization.

As the first-to-market scalable x86 server powered by the latest 64-bit Intel Xeon MP processors, the x460 delivers the reliability of the Intel Xeon processor architecture on a dual-core capable, 64-bit compatible database workhorse. This next-generation "pay-as-you-grow" design leverages a more flexible 3U 4-CPU building block for improved modularity and granularity of scalable partitions, perfect for virtualization, server consolidation, and high-end database. The x460 allows you to grow more easily as the needs of your business change over time, transitioning to 64-bit applications or adding incremental performance capacity when you need it without the penalty of paying for costly up-front infrastructure. Whether you are deploying today or positioning for growth tomorrow, the dual-core-capable x460 also sets a higher standard for investment protection. Powering the transition to 64-bit and multi-core processors including support for legacy 32-bit applications, the x460 is the flexible, x86 alternative to more expensive, and in many cases lower performing, RISC/UNIX and EPIC Architecture servers.

With the intelligence of a mainframe at a fraction of the price, the x460 is the complete embodiment of mainframe-inspired technology delivered in an industry-standard server. Completely re-designed for 64-bit performance, the IBM eServer X3 Architecture is the ground-breaking third-generation of Enterprise X-Architecture, delivering new advances such as XceL4v Dynamic Server Cache that propels the x460 to levels of performance unmatched by any x86 server. Delivering mission-critical availability without compromise, the x460 also offers true hardware-based monitoring and security, industry-first high availability technologies such as Active Memory and Memory ProteXion, and industry-leading remote management software to ensure faster deployment, easier maintenance, and assured data integrity for your most important business transactions. Have you been waiting for a scalable, high-performance 64-bit alternative? The wait is over. IBM eServer X3 and the xSeries 460.

The Datacenter Solution offering is for clients who want to install scalable xSeries industry-standard technology to replace aging proprietary platforms or existing Windows-based server solutions to greater than eight-way SMP capability. Datacenter solutions are ideal for enterprise and high-availability applications. Single-node four-socket (eight-core) to 32-socket (64-core) server configurations as well as multinode four-socket (eight-core) to 32-socket (64-core) Microsoft Certified cluster solutions are supported.
