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. The Integrated Management Module (IMM) increases server availability by continuously monitoring your system and notifying you of potential system failures or changes. The Virtual Media key option provides remote presence capabilities without taking up a slot on the planar, while IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™ provides advanced power monitoring and notification.
