IBM System x3650 M3

As an IBM System x server, the x3650 M3 is configured in a dense 2U form factor for enhanced power efficiency and decreased operational expenses. The unique advantages that the IBM System x3650 M3 server offers through its IBM X architecture foundation makes it ideal for compute-intensive, mission critical application and virtualization environments. Some of the advantages provided by this resilient, open architecture include interleaved memory, more computing power per watt, a larger cache size, and Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) memory. On top of the performance enhancing software, the IBM System x3650 M3 is equipped with advanced hardware technologies including up to 4 Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI- E) slots. The IBM x3650 M3 is also highly scalable, ensuring that it always has the latest technologies, which is evidenced through its internal storage flexibility with an easy upgrade path to up to 16 hot-swappable Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) Hard Disk Drives or Solid State Drives.

All of these advanced features provide the IBM Systemx 3650 M3 server with some significant advantages over previous generations, including increased transaction processing, enhanced application performance, and easier risk management. Some of the key benefits that the IBM x 3650 M3 offers are derived from their processors. Utilizing up to 2 of the latest Intel Xeon processors, with either 4 or 6 cores, the IBM System x3650 M3 takes advantage of the QuickPath Interconnect technology that the processors provide for an increase of memory access speed up to a maximum of 1333 Megahertz (MHz). Not only fast, but efficient as well, the IBM Systemx 3650 M3 is compliant with energy-efficiency standards such as 80PLUS and Energy Star, which allows it to support more processor cores and offer expanded memory and data capacity. Along with the compact form factor, some components of the x3650 M3 IBM rack server that enable this level of energy efficiency include 94% efficient power supplies and the integration of IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager software.
