Scalable 2-to-4-socket blade server optimized for virtualization/

consolidation, database, and ERP

Suggested uses: Front-end and mid-tier applications requiring high performance (CPU, memory

or I/O), enterprise-class availability, and extreme flexibility and power efficiency.

IBM® has been designing and implementing chipsets under the X-Architecture

® name since 2001.

eX5 technology represents the fifth generation of products based on the same design principle

IBM began with in 1997: to offer Intel

® Xeon® processor-based systems that are expandable,

offer “big iron” reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features, with extremely competitive

price/performance.

The eX5 technology is primarily designed around three major workloads: database servers,

server consolidation using virtualization services, and Enterprise Resource Planning (application

and database) servers.

If you’re using industry-standard servers to run business critical applications, the systems that run

these applications need the type of technology designed into IBM’s eX5 technology systems. The

eX5 chipset represents a $100M+ investment in designing a flagship offering that can harness

the power of 4-socket-and-up 64-bit x86 (x64) Xeon processors. The eX5 family includes a

scalable performance with the ability to scale from a (30mm) to blade server single-wide blade

a (60mm). double-wide blade

Maybe you’d like to start out with a 2-socket blade and possibly add sockets later, if your needs

change. Or perhaps you need more than a 2-socket blade, but don’t want to get locked into a

monolithic 4-socket blade—again, in case your requirements change. With IBM, you can start at

2 sockets and grow to 4 if needed. And if you require a variety of 2- and 4-socket servers in your

data center, you only have to qualify one server for all these workloads. This can save much time

and effort and speed deployment. You can also save money on software licensing by virtualizing

a 4-processor server into many VMs, rather than using multiple 2-processor servers. Huge

amounts of memory also enable more or larger VMs, and larger databases (especially databases

stored entirely in memory).

Reducing an entire server into a little over of rack space (i.e., up to 14 servers in 9U) does .5U

not mean trading away features and capabilities for smaller size. The IBM BladeCenter

® HX5

blade server offers features comparable to many 1U rack-optimized full-featured servers, and

then some: The HX5 supports up to of the latest high-performance , two 10-core, 8-core, 6-core

or Intel Xeon family or / series processors. The Xeon processors are 4-core E7 7500 6500

designed with up to of shared cache and leading-edge memory performance (up to30MB

1066MHz) to help provide the computing power you require to match your business needs and

growth. The new Xeon and series processors offer up to E7-4800 E7-2800 40% greater

performance than the previous-generation Intel 7500/6500 series processors.

Because business requirements change and a 2-socket server that meets those needs today

may not meet them in the future, the HX5 was designed to be upgradeable to meet the diverse

needs of multiple workloads. For , it can be configured as a 2-compute-intensive workloads

wide blade server with up to , 4 processors / 40 cores 32 DIMMs 512GB 4 PCIe cards 16 I/O ( ), ,

ports 4 solid-state drives SSDs memory-intensive workloads, and ( ). Conversely, for , the

HX5 can be configured as a 2-wide server consisting of and memory 1 blade server 1 MAX5

expansion blade, with up to 40 DIMMs 640GB FlexNode partitioning ( ) total. IBM allows a

physical 4-socket configuration to be remotely reconfigured by software into logical 2-socket two

servers, as needs change or for daily peak and off-peak workloads.

The HX5 supports (formerly ESXi) preloaded on a standard USB VMware vSphere Hypervisor

flash drive. It operates in a diskless configuration, offers a smaller memory footprint, extremely

high performance, and stronger security, making getting a system up and running in a virtualized

environment faster and easier than ever before. You can save money on software licensing by

using the huge memory capacity to virtualize the server into many VMs, rather than using

multiple servers. Huge amounts of memory also enable larger VMs and larger databases.

IBM’s eX5 technology-based systems are the ideal solution for scale-up database-serving

applications on Microsoft® Windows® with Microsoft SQL Server® or IBM DB2®, as well as Linux®

with Oracle or DB2. Database hosting demands ultimate server reliability features, and once

installed, they tend to grow and grow, requiring ever greater levels of availability. eX5 servers

provide exactly that degree to availability.

Another strong application area for the eX5-based systems is enterprise server consolidation

activities workloads, including SAP and Oracle. eX5 systems can offer considerable savings over

UNIX deployments, using our certified solution stacks on either Windows or Linux.. Larger

servers need more processor, memory and I/O resources, which make maximum use of any

applicable virtual machine software licensing fees and deliver superior system utilization levels.

The name of the game in consolidation activities is to deploy the fewest new servers possible and

help IT staff manage more images with the same or fewer overall people.

The HX5 uses industry-standard DDR3 Chipkillmemory with ™ (Error Checking and ECC

Correcting) protection—for high performance and reliability. For even higher levels of availability,

the eX5 servers also offer Memory ProteXion™, , , memory scrubbing memory rank sparing

and selectable memory mirroring.

An integrated dual-port Gigabit Ethernet

1 controller is standard, providing high-speed data

transfers and offering (TCP Offload Engine) support, and TOE load-balancing failover

capabilities. Via optional expansion cards, each blade can also connect to additional Ethernet,

10Gb Ethernet SAS, , Fibre Channel iSCSI, InfiniBand,™, and other high-speed communication

switches housed in the chassis. This blade is designed with power management capability to

provide the maximum uptime possible for your systems. In extended thermal conditions or power

brownouts, rather than shut down completely, or fail, the HX5 automatically reduces the

processor frequency to maintain acceptable thermal and power levels.

All HX5 models offer impressive features at an equally impressive price, including up to two 1.8-

inch fixed solid-state drives (SSDs) with support, and one optional RAID-0/1 internal USB

flash drive (for embedded hypervisor]. Additional direct-attach storage is available via the

BladeCenter S chassis. Moreover, the HX5 is for diskless operation, offering each optimized

blade server access to essentially unlimited external storage capacity via Fibre Channel, SAS, or

iSCSI.

A single chassis supports up to 30mm-wide HX5 blades in BladeCenter H 14 hot-swappable

only (BladeCenter H) of rack space, or up to in the high-speed 9U 12 12U BladeCenter HT

telecommunications chassis. In addition to the blade servers, these chassis also hold up to 10

(BladeCenter H) or 8 switches/bridges (BladeCenter HT) internally. The , BladeCenter S

designed for SMB and mid-market customers, takes integration and affordability to a new level,

combining up to hot-swap 12 SAS/SATA 6 blade HDDs (with optional SAS card) and up to

servers 4 switches and . Not only can this save significant data center space (and therefore the

cost of floor space and rack hardware) compared to 1U servers, it also consolidates

switches/bridges and cables for reduced complexity and lower cabling costs, and it allows clients

to manage everything in the solution as one. Using a BladeCenter H chassis, up to HX5 56

servers ( processors/ cores) can be installed in one rack; but the 112 896 industry-standard 42U

value of BladeCenter extends far beyond high density data center environments.

The various BladeCenter chassis are designed to monitor environmental conditions in the

chassis and each blade and send alerts to the administrator Advanced standard features, such .

as , Active Memory Predictive Failure Analysis, light path diagnostics hot-swap redundant ,

help maintain system availability with increased uptime.

If you need scalable, highly manageable, high-performance virtualization in a space- or power-

constrained environment, the HX5 is the ideal system.

Selling Features

Price/Performance

• There is an HX5 model to fit all budgets. The HX5 offers a choice of high-performance 4-, 6-, 8-, and

10-core Xeon processors with dual integrated memory controllers, clock rates of 1.86GHz to

2.67GHz, 12MB to 30MB of integrated Level 3 cache, and Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) ,

Hyper-Threading (HT) technology, and Turbo Boost technology.. Xeon E7 processors offer up to

40% better performance than 7500/6500 series processors, and 7500/6500 series processors offer

up to 3X better performance2 than the previous-generation 7400 series processors and up to 10X

better performance than the single-core processors of a few years ago that you may still be using.

• Up to 256GB of registered DDR3 ECC memory per blade operates at 800MHz to 1066MHz

1 Actual data transfer speed will vary and is often less than the maximum possible. Gigabit Ethernet transfer speed requires support on both

system and server, and appropriate network infrastructure.

(depending on the system configuration), for high performance and wide memory bandwidth.

• The 7873 machine type supports low-voltage 1.35V DIMMs.

• By scaling to 2 blade servers, the HX5 can support up to 512GB of memory—enough for even the

most demanding virtualization, database, or ERP needs. If even that’s not enough memory, using

one blade server and one memory expansion blades, the HX5 can scale to 640GB.

• Alternatively, with 40 DIMM slots the server and MAX5 can be populated with inexpensive 2GB

DIMMs (for 80GB), while gaining the performance boost from using 8 memory controllers (4 in the

server and four more in the MAX5 unit).

• Embedded virtualization (optional on all models) offers extremely high performance, enhanced

security, and a zero-gigabyte HDD footprint. (In other words, no mechanical HDD to fail.)

• Solid state drives (SDDs) use only 2W of energy per drive, vs. 9-10W for 2.5-inch HDDs. This is as

much as 80% less energy than a HDD would use (with a corresponding reduction in heat output).

• The extremely high degree of integration in the various BladeCenter chassis reduces the need for

server components, replacing numerous fans, KVM and Ethernet cables, power supplies, external

switches and other components with fewer shared hot-swap/redundant components in the

BladeCenter chassis itself. This integration also can greatly reduce the amount of power consumed

and heat produced, relative to an equivalent number of 1U servers. This can significantly reduce a

data center power bill. The reduced data center footprint can also save on infrastructure cost.

• The midplanes used in all chassis provide high-speed blade-to-blade, blade-to-switch-module and

module-to-module communications internally as well as externally. The midplanes used in the

BladeCenter H and BladeCenter HT chassis provide four 10Gb data channels to each blade, and

supports high-speed switch modules, including 4X InfiniBand and 10Gb Ethernet.

• The various BladeCenter chassis use ultrahigh efficiency power supplies. Most industry-standard

servers use power supplies that are between 70-75% efficient at converting power from AC wall

current to the DC power used inside servers. BladeCenter power modules are up to 92% efficient.

This helps save even more money, as more of the power input you are paying for is used for

processing, rather than released into the data center as waste heat that requires even more energy to

cool.

• BladeCenter design also reduces the number of parts required to run the system. Sharing fans,

systems management, and optical media means fewer parts to buy and maintain, and fewer items

that can fail and bring the overall solution down.

Flexibility

The has the ability to grow with your application requirements, thanks to: HX5

• The ability to grow from a single-wide 2-socket server blade to a double-wide 4-socket server

configuration, optimized for compute-intensive workloads with up to 4 processors/40 cores, 512GB

of memory, 4 PCIe cards, 16 I/O ports, and 4 SSDs) in two server blades; or for memory-intensive

workloads with one server blade and one MAX5 memory expansion blade (2 processors/20 cores,

640GB of memory, 4 PCIe cards, 16 I/O ports, and 4 SSDs).

• A choice of processor speeds (1.73 to 2.0GHz), and shared L3 cache sizes (12MB, 18MB, 24MB, or

30MB).

• Up to two internal hot-swap 1.8-inch solid state drives, and access to terabytes of external storage

via the BladeCenter S chassis or IBM System Storage

® SAN and NAS storage devices. SSDs

consume only 10-20% of the energy required by 2.5-inch HDDs.

• Two Gigabit Ethernet ports standard, plus optional 2-port or 4-port expansion cards or a

BladeCenter PCI Express I/O Expansion Unit 3. One HX5 model includes a 10Gb expansion card

(optional in the other models).

In addition, the various BladeCenter chassis offer a high degree of flexibility:

• They support configurations that are 30mm or 60mm wide, with a variety of I/O options, depending

on need.

• When installed in a BladeCenter H high-speed switch bay, the optional Multi-Switch Interconnect

Module doubles the number of Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel connections to every blade in

the chassis (up to 8 or 12 ports, depending on the blade server).

• Xeon processor-based HX5 blades can be used in the same chassis as Intel processor-based HC10,

HS12, HS20, HS21, HS21 XM, HS22, HS22V, and HS40 blades; AMD Opteron processor-based

LS20, LS21, LS22, LS41 and LS42 blades; IBM PowerPC® processor-based JS20, JS21, and JS22

blades; POWER6® processor-based JS12, JS23, and JS43 Express blades; POWER7®

processor-

based PS700, PS701, and PS702 blades; Cell Broadband Engine™ processor-based QS21; and

IBM PowerXCell™ processor-based QS22 blades. Depending on the blade servers used, the

various BladeCenter chassis support Microsoft Windows, Linux, Novell Netware, IBM AIX

® and

Sun Solaris 10 operating systems in the same chassis.

• Most HS/LS/JS/QS blade servers ever released by IBM are supported in every BladeCenter chassis
