Product Description
Extensive usage of industry standard x86 based platforms is becoming more important than ever: be it as database management system for medium or large-sized databases or as a consolidation basis to run an immensely large number of different applications using virtualization technologies. The scalable PRIMERGY RX600 S6 is in every respect a reliable server for such critical company scenarios. The ideal interaction of integrated redundancy functions with server management components results in high-level availability and constantly efficient IT production as a character feature of this server platform. The latest generation of Intel Xeon processors equipped with up to 10 state-of-the art cores enable a unique performance boost which however does not bear optimal dividends unless paired with other features: a high extendable main memory capacity with up to 64 DIMMs and a very high number of performant PCI Express channels provide a balanced high throughput architecture so as to meet increasing requirements. This and the continued evolution of virtualization support via Intel® components (processor, I/O controller) enable a greater consolidation of servers and applications with all the market relevant virtualization solutions , resulting in excellent best-in-class efficiency.
