FAST -- X6 platforms deliver better performance for I/O-hungry applications
such as analytics and database and save 40% or more with innovative flash
technology1

AGILE -- X6 platforms can host multiple generations of technology and
reduce acquisition costs by 25%2 or more with fit-for-purpose modular design

RESILIENT-- Meet the demands of enterprise workloads; get 3x the
memory and increase system availability
1
Based on savings from server and storage consolidation which includes lower hardware and software expenditures
2
More than 25% lower acquisition cost is based on a comparison of an x3850 X6 (using the modular rack design) vs a traditional rack design with no modularity. Based on projected Q1 2014 pricing of x3850 X6
configuration with 2 Compute Books, Storage Book with 1.2TB SAS, dual 1400W power supplies, 10GbE SFP+ networking, and no IO Book Options.

Designed for business critical enterprise

These percentages estimates and are subject to future IBM testing.

Standard x86 servers will see memory speed lower as more
DIMMs are populated
Each processor has 8 channels
Each channel supports up to 3 DIMMs
Results in 24 DIMMs per processor
As you add more DIMMs to each channel, the Intel

architecture will lower the memory bus speed from 1333Mhz
to 1066Mhz (20% reduction) for workloads over 1TB
(assuming 16GB DIMMs)

x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 are designed to maintain memory performance
for larger workloads
For memory workloads from 500GB and above, the X6
platforms will be able to maintain the 1333 Mhz memory
bus speed
Delivering higher performance for larger workloads with
scalable memory performance
X6 platforms deliver the best memory scalability
in the industry
IBM eXFlash Memory Channel Storage offer the fastest flash response
time on the market
200GB / 400GB
As more eXFlash DIMMs are added, IOPS
increase, yet latency is not negatively
impacted.

Consistent performance even with mixed
workloads
Support several times more Virtual Machines
per server without service degradation
Highly-scalable form factor that provides greater
performance and granular capacity growth

Unlike memory, storage devices are remote to the

Therefore, transactions are not performed in parallel
As a result, response time suffers significantly

Adding more storage only compounds the problem since all

With each technology refresh, traditionally data centers add servers
more complexity, more capital cost.
With X6, refresh only the Compute Books at each technology refresh,
reduce capital cost, eliminate operational overhead (networking,
