The fundamentalengineering of thesystem at the heart of your system matters.
It’s time to redefine the x86 server landscapeIt’s time to redefine the x86 server landscape
It’s about more than just the processor…it’s about the system.
The next generation x86 architectures must
be able to keep up with the proliferation of
workloads and explosion of data of a smarter,
more interconnected planet.

MAX5 doubles memory capacity
Expand memory capacity Up to double the number of memory DIMMs than the
competitors No impact to memory latency Over five times the memory capacity in two sockets vs.
today’s leading two-socket systems MAX5 memory may be partitioned to CPUs or pooled
With embedded memory controllers,
memory capacity is tied to processors
But not with MAX5…
Provides the memory customers have needed for database and virtualization – up to 100% more virtual machines
Allows higher memory capacity to be reached with less expensive DIMMs for more economical high end implementations

Systems Director: Flex Node Partitioning, Automatic Node Failover….
Customer Pain Points:– In a 2 node configuration, what is my exposure? What kind of high availability features are in tact?
Answer:
Systems Director deploys Automatic Node Failover…..bringing down the 2 node cluster with a soft reboot and bringing up the healthy node while systems director identifies and brings resolution to the failed node.
– In a 2 node configuration, what kind of flexibility is in tact? What are my options?
Answer: Depending on the business, you may have 2 independent nodes during the day and through Systems Director set policies for a single node batch processing server.
Client may bring the single node and take 1 off-line during downtime to save on energy/cooling costs.

Traditional configurations add more disk/spindles to add more performance
And very large data sets can require racks of storage
Configuration, set up, tuning, and maintenance can require significant datacenter skills, effort, and cost.
Traditional storage yields unaffordable configurations….Most datacenters have over 30 DB’s (100GB) with 15K requirements Average of $2.3 Million to maitain 450K IOPS for disk performance
