Product Description
IBM® NeXtScale System is a new HPC offering from IBM. This new dense offering is based on our experience with IBM iDataPlex® and IBM BladeCenter® along with a tight focus on emerging and future client requirements. The IBM NeXtScale n1200 enclosure and IBM NeXtScale nx360 M4 server are designed to optimize density and performance within typical data center infrastructure limits. The 6U NeXtScale n1200 enclosure fits in a standard 19-inch rack and up to twelve nx360 M4 servers can be installed into the enclosure. With increased computing power per watt and the Intel Xeon processor, you can reduce costs while maintaining speed and availability.
