Mar 31, 2009 : IBM Launches Intel-based Servers
📅 - Enables customers to easily roll out virtualized computing and reduce growing operating costs with simplified management and increased utilization.
IBM, a provider of IT infrastructure services, today unveiled a new generation of Intel Xeon processor 5500 series-based System x servers and software that enable customers to roll out virtualized computing and reduce growing operating costs with higher performance, simplified management and increased utilization.
The company states that with the new systems, its engineers addressed key challenges in today's data center, where hefty costs for power usage and IT management pile-up, while processors sit idle or under-utilized. It explains that to help enable a more dynamic infrastructure, its four new x86 rack servers and blades feature unique designs - such as lower wattage requirements - that can slash energy costs up to 93 percent. At the same time, the new System x servers boast double the compute performance in some models, and support more memory, storage and I/O to help customers of all sizes ease the transition to highly efficient virtualized computing resources. System x blades and racks lead the industry with 96GB to 1TB memory options, adds the company.
"The world is going through changes that require IT professionals in every industry to consolidate, virtualize and support a variety of different platforms - a mix of operating systems, hardware, middleware and applications. And there is no one-size-fits-all solution for most businesses," said Adalio Sanchez, General Manager, IBM System x. "Not only do these announcements continue our strong commitment to invest in and deliver leading x86 servers that address our customer's needs, System x supports multiple architectures and is designed to lower ownership costs and enable new paradigms such as Cloud computing."
"VMware and IBM have worked closely together for many years to leverage each others' expertise to increase IT efficiency, control and choice for our customers," said Brian Byun, Vice President of global alliances at VMware. "With unique scale-up capacity supporting up to 96 cores and the ability to use up to 1 TB of memory, IBM's System x servers complement VMware's upcoming next-generation VMware vSphere family of products and are an excellent choice for customers deploying private cloud environments."
