The fundamentalengineering of thesystem at the heart of your system matters.
It’s time to redefine the x86 server landscapeIt’s time to redefine the x86 server landscape
It’s about more than just the processor…it’s about the system.
The next generation x86 architectures must
be able to keep up with the proliferation of
workloads and explosion of data of a smarter,
more interconnected planet.

System utilization is limited by memory capacity
2006: Xeon 7100
Cores/socket: 2
Frequency: 3.4GHz
DIMMs/core: 2
2007: Xeon 7300
Even with technology advancements memory is still limited
2008: Xeon 7400
2010: Nehalem EX
Cores: 4
Frequency: 2.93GHz
DIMMs/core: 1
Cores: 6
Frequency: 2.66GHz
DIMMs/core: 1.33
Cores: 8
Frequency: x.xxGHz
DIMMs/core: 2
Processor performance is now more influenced by cores and cache rather than frequency
Core count, cache and threads have increased as frequency has decreased : exacerbating the memory imbalance
With 64-bit applications and operating systems demand more memory
Virtualization, Enterprise Applications all demand memory and is the single greatest bottleneck

MAX5 doubles memory capacity
Expand memory capacity Up to double the number of memory DIMMs than the
competitors No impact to memory latency Over five times the memory capacity in two sockets vs.
today’s leading two-socket systems MAX5 memory may be partitioned to CPUs or pooled
With embedded memory controllers,
memory capacity is tied to processors
But not with MAX5…
Provides the memory customers have needed for database and virtualization – up to 100% more virtual machines
Allows higher memory capacity to be reached with less expensive DIMMs for more economical high end implementations

Licensing Max 5 memory allows systems to scale on demand when requirements change.We are in a state of proliferation of VMware licensing. Max 5 will allow a reduction in Vmware licensing while providing more density at a fraction of the cost.
Maximize Memory– 1.7x greater performance over 2S EP systems while using same two processor SW license– MAX5 memory expansion to 320GB in 60mm for over 25% more VMs per processor compared to competition
Minimize Cost– Upgrade to 80 DIMM for max memory performance or to save over $4K by using smaller, less expensive
DIMMs– Memory bound VMWare customers can save over $7K in licensing with memory rich two socket configurations

Systems Director: Flex Node Partitioning, Auto Node Failover…. Customer Pain Points:
– In a 2 node configuration, what is my exposure? What kind of high availability features are in tact?
Answer:
Systems Director deploys Automatic Node Failover…..bringing down the 2 node cluster with a soft reboot and bringing up the healthy node while systems director identified and brings resolution to the failed node.
– In a 2 node configuration, what kind of flexibility is in tact? What are my options?
Answer: Depending on the business, you may have 2 independent nodes during the day and through Systems Director set policies for a single node batch processing server.
Client may bring the single node and take 1 off-line during downtime to save on energy/cooling costs.

Traditional configurations add more disk/spindles to add more performance
And very large data sets can require racks of storage
Configuration, set up, tuning, and maintenance can require significant datacenter skills, effort, and cost.

Hi [Mr./Ms. CUSTOMER NAME] Introducing the new IBM BladeCenter® HX5! The HX5 enables unprecedented performance
and utilization in a blade form factor for database and virtualization. With MAX5 scalability, the HX5 blade offers memory capacity of up to 640 GB—in four-wide blade, the most memory of any server in its class. The result is optimal server utilization with more virtual machines per system. With expanded memory capacity you get up to 78% more virtual machines for the same license cost.
Easy to own, manage and upgrade with pay-as-you-grow expansion, the HX5 blade server helps protect your investments over the long term. Attached is a short proposal outlining the benefits of the HX5 blade to your company. Please contact me to discuss this proposal and the specifics on how we can help you cut costs, better utilize assets, and simplify your IT infrastructure complexity.
Sincerely,
Alex Alvord Zones Inc
