Product Description
The x3850 X5 server is the fifth generation of the Enterprise X-Architecture, delivering innovation with enhanced reliability and availability features to enable performance for databases, enterprise applications, and virtualized environments. Environments that run around the clock to supply information world-wide require dependable servers with features that can tolerate a component failure without total shutdown.
The x3850 X5 server packs numerous fault-tolerant and high-availability features into a high-density, rack-optimized package that helps to reduce the space needed to support massive network computing operations. A single x3850 X5 with the MAX 5 memory drawer supports up to four of Intel''s high-performance processors and up to 1.5 TB of memory. Two x3850 X5 servers with two MAX 5 memory drawers can be connected together to form a single-system image with up to eight processors and up to 3 TB of RAM. This processing capacity is ideal for large-scale database or virtualization requirements.
