Product Description
The IBM® System x3650 M4 blends outstanding uptime, performance and I/O flexibility for cost efficiency and rock-solid reliability. The powerful server offers an energy-smart, affordable, and easy-to-use rack solution with a pay-as-you-grow design to help lower costs and manage risks. With more computing power per watt and Intel® Xeon® E5 v2 processors, advanced memory support, and greater disk capacity for businesses requiring extreme storage, the x3650 M4 offers balanced performance and density. With redundant hot-swap fans, disks and power supplies, the x3650 M4 provides a resilient architecture ideal for business-critical applications. Predictive Failure Analysis and light path diagnostics provide advanced warning on power supplies, fans, VRMs, disks, processors and memory. Redundant hot-swap components make it easy to replace failures without taking your system down.
