Customers who buy IBM’s latest x440 eServer can purchase a two-way or four-way system now and have the option of upgrading to eight or 16-way configurations as their IT requirements dictate.
The new x440 server can be fitted with a two- or four-way 2.4GHz Intel Xeon CPUs that can be upgraded to eight- and 16-way configurations by replacing the Xeon processors with the Xeon Processor MP.
The machine ships as standard with IBM XceL4 Server Accelerator Cache technology, which places frequently accessed data close to the processor for faster performance. The system’s remote I/O allows multiple PCI/PCI-X adapter slots to be added several metres away from the server via high-speed interconnect ports. Other features include memory mirroring, hot-swappable disk storage and IBM Director software for superior reliability and manageability.
The x440 entry server supports Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacentre Server, as well as Red Hat Linux Advanced Server and SuSE Linux 8.0.
The x440 also includes innovations from IBM’s Project eLiza-self-healing and self-managing features, including Software Rejuvenation, Active PCI Manager, Rack Manager and the ability to manage non-IBM systems.
