Enterprise X-Architecture - eX5
Make your business operate smarter.
IBM eX5 Architecture allows System x and BladeCenter systems to boost performance and minimise licensing costs by de-coupling memory from the processor. This allows businesses like yours to add memory when you need to without necessarily adding servers.
IBM eX5 systems can leverage 6x more memory than current x86 servers, reduce storage costs by up to 97% and cut licensing fees by 50%. *
Tower and Rack-mount Servers
IBM System x tower and rack-mount servers harness advanced, next-generation technology to deliver outstanding dual- and quad-core performance, high availability, scalability and power efficiency.
