Product Description
The Flex System x480 X6 is scalable to a 4-socket system optimized for applications that require more processor cores and memory for larger virtual machines and databases. * Outstanding compute performance * Maximum memory availability * Leadership storage performance and capacity * Ability to quickly scale to meet increased system demands * Ability to host multiple generations of technology within the same chassis * Pay-as-you-grow system expandability and fit-for-purpose design * Reduced unscheduled events due to self-healing. * Eliminates restarts and provides easier serviceability by minimizing the number of system “touches” * Advanced RAS integration with standard hypervisors
