IBM XA-64e™ 3rd generation chipset
|
- Unleashing the power of the IBM eServer X3 architecture: the third-generation of IBM's Enterprise X-Architecture™ design
- Leadership performance with an integrated processor/memory controller reducing latencies by almost 3X over the previous generation
- Dual 667MHz front-side bus architecture offers 3X the performance bandwidth of the x365 and greater reliability over alternative x86 architectures
- Simultaneous compatibility for 64-bit and legacy 32-bit applications plus dual-core capability providing headroom and investment protection
|
|
|
| 64-bit Intel Xeon MP |
- First-to-market with the next-generation 64-bit Intel Xeon processor MP up to 3.66GHz with 1MB level-2 cache powering break-through 4-way performance up to 38% higher than the x365 (as measured by tpmC)
- Support for Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T) that introduces 64-bit memory addressability into the mainstream x86 server market
- Faster execution with hyper-threading technology based upon the Intel NetBurst™ micro-architecture that supports execution of multiple programs or threads within a single processor
|
|
|
| XceL4v™ Dynamic Server Cache |
- Virtual level-4 cache leverages an IBM-exclusive integrated snoop filter to minimize front-side bus congestion and maximize CPU performance, a key ingredient for higher performance on the new dual front-side bus architecture
- Intelligent caching dramatically reduces system latencies to improve performance, as illustrated by the industry-leading benchmarks of the x366
|
|
|
| Application & OS Flexibility |
- The high-performance 64-bit solution for database, ERP, and server consolidation with support for legacy 32-bit applications
- The leading x86-64 server platform for Windows application deployments supporting Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (32-bit and x64) as well as Windows 2000
- 64-bit Enterprise Linux support with Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS and SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server
- Support for industry-leading virtualization applications including VMware ESX Server 2.5.1 for server consolidation and logical partitioning of up to 80 virtual servers
|
|
|
| Up to 64GB DDR2 ECC SDRAM, 2GB standard |
- Lowering cost without sacrificing availability, the x366 supports Chipkill and Memory ProteXion™ standard at no additional cost using off-the-shelf industry-standard DIMMs for the detection and correction of single-bit and double-bit memory errors
- OS-independent, Hot-swap memory enables the replacement of failed DIMMs while the system is still running to maximize availability of this mission-critical server
- Hot-add memory supported with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 powers the dynamic addition of main memory to increase performance
- Memory mirroring dramatically reduces unscheduled downtime for memory failures through high availability redundant memory banks
- IBM-exclusive Memory ProteXion™ uses spare bits for redundancy that re-route data around a failed chip on a DIMM in the event of a failure

|
|
| Six Active™ PCI-X 2.0 slots standard |
- "First to market with support for PCI-X 2.0, the new specification standard for high performance server I/O with backward compatibility for legacy PCI-X and PCI adapters
- Quad-bus I/O southbridge of the XA-64e chipset supports all six slots up to the maximum 266MHz matching the performance of PCI-E 4x
- High availability hot-swap and hot-add capability
|
|
|
| Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) |
- "First to market with support for internal serial attached SCSI, the latest in high performance, enterprise-reliable server storage
- Support for up to six hot-swap 2.5" SAS hard disk drives for a maximum of 440GB of internal storage
- Easily upgrade to hardware-based RAID-0, 1, or 5 without consuming a PCI slot with the high performance ServeRAID 8i for SAS
|
|
|
| 'Connection-grade' proven reliability & Systems Management |
- Analogous to 'carrier-grade,' the x366 is the industry's first 'connection-grade' server for the commercial enterprise market delivering proven reliability and data integrity for database transactions
- Complete N+N and hot-swap redundancy in all key subsystems mitigates downtime in the event of a power supply, cooling fan or memory failure
- Light path diagnostics provides a lighted path to failed or failing components starting with the front-accessible, drop-down Light Path panel to expedite hardware repairs and reduce service time
- Predictive Failure Analysis® provides proactive monitoring of critical system components enabling scheduled maintenance on processors, power supplies, memory, hard drives, or fans (more components than any competitive system) before a failure results in downtime
- Support for IPMI standard with upgradeability to the more robust Remote Supervisor Adapter II Slimline for more advanced remote systems management
- Award-winning IBM Director software marries hardware-based monitoring with comprehensive systems analysis and alerting
