Flex System Design Goals

BladeCenter •Density Focus

•7U Tall with 14 Blades (twice density of 1U Servers

•Network Consolidation

BladeCenter H Density Focus

9U Tall with 14 Blades

Network Consolidation

4 High Speed I/O channels per Blade

•10U tall with 14 Nodes larger Nodes

•Each slot supports 2 High Powered CPU’s + DIMMs

•Improved Efficiency – larger node reduces airflow, lower

resistance for lower fan power

•Power and Cooling for future growth

•Range of higher bandwidth and low latency fabrics

Today’s world requires much more performance, much more memory,

much more bandwidth and is increasingly virtualised….

Increase server density & business performance:

• Double-dense design that can support 28 servers per

IBM® Flex System™ Enterprise Chassis

• More business and floating point operations per

chassis

• Over 150% increase in server density compared to a

std 1U rack server in 10U of rack space2

• 58% better compute throughput per chassis vs. HP

1. Based on IBM testing for medium task workers

1. x240 with two E5-2680 (2.7 GHz) CPUs can support 206 users, and a total of 2884 users (206 x14) in 14U chassis

2. x222 with E5-2470 (2.3 GHz) CPUs can support 174 users (or 348 per x222), and a total of 4872 users in a 14U chassis (14x2x174)

3. This represents an approximate 60% increase in VDI density with the new x222 compute node.

2. Based on double dense design compared to 1U rack optimized server design in a standard rack

3. Based estimate of SPEC_int performance comparing x222 configured with E52400 CPU and BL460 configured with E5-2600 procs and twice the number of servers per chassis with IBM offering

x222 provides clients with 60% increase in VDI user

density. Supports over 2800 users per chassis

compared to standard density blade offerings1

Chassis I/O Routing • I/O module bays are not wired to work with

only specific I/O modules

• The IO Module in an I/O module bay

determines what kind of I/O is routed out of

that bay

• The adapter slot an I/O card is placed in

determines which bay I/O is routed to

• Each physical adapters port can have up to 4

x1 links or 1 x4 link

• The adapter determines the number and type

of links consumed

• Adapters can use up to 8 ports per I/O

adapter depending on adapter selected

• Multiport adapters mean one has to take into

consideration the number of internal as well

as external ports one has available on an I/O

Module.
