Product Description
The IBM® System x3550 M2 offers robust, proven technology and a flexible, energy-smart design. Delivering multi-core computing on the Intel® Xeon® processor with QuickPath Interconnect technology, this server delivers significant performance improvement per watt compared to previous generation servers by integrating low-wattage components for an energy-smart thermal profile. This server offers feature-rich systems management capabilities from power management to proactive hardware monitoring.
