IBM x3850 X6 & X5 Servers

IBM x3850 X6 & x5 Information
The Lenovo System x3850 X6 server, machine type 6241, is a four-socket, four-socket, four-socket, four-socket, four-socket, four-socket, four-socket, four-socket, four-socket, four-socket, four-socket, four-s The x3850 X6 delivers rapid application performance, is built on an agile system design, and is a resilient platform that is needed for mission-critical databases, enterprise applications, and virtualized environments, and now comes with Intel Xeon E7 v4 processors.

The x3850 X5 server packs numerous fault-tolerant and high-availability features into a high-density, rack-optimized package that helps to significantly reduce the space needed to support massive network computing operations. A single x3850 X5 supports up to four of the new Intel Xeon E7 high-performance 10-core processors and up to 3 TB of memory. Two x3850 X5 servers can be connected together to form a single-system image with up to eight processors and up to 6 TB of RAM. This processing capacity is ideal for large-scale database or virtualization requirements. Figure 1 shows the System x3850 X5.
