Highlights

  • Achieve excellent price/performance with industry-leading, two-socket server
  • Stable platform life optimises IT investment
  • Manage and protect mission-critical applications with scalable memory, input/output (I/O) and storage
  • Experience improved performance, reliability and scalability from Intel® Xeon® processor

The IBM System x3500 delivers unprecedented performance and reliability for demanding distributed environments that rely on around-the-clock availability of mission-critical applications. With up to eight-core processor performance at lower power consumption per core, the x3500 offers leading-edge capacity and high-speed I/O scalability. A long-life platform with 24-month availability, the x3500 minimises deployment and support concerns.

With the x3500 take advantage of virtualisation. Deploy an infrastructure with less hardware that supports the same - or more - applications with lower hardware support costs.
Product featuresHardware summary

FeatureBenefits
Up to two Dual-Core Intel Xeon Processors (2x2MB level 2 (L2) cache)
  • Improves productivity through higher processing performance
  • Large cache size yields more transaction processing
  • Dual-core processing provides significant performance gains over single core
Up to two Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processors (2x4MB L2 cache)
  • Delivers ultimate processor performance with eight cores using optimised L2 cache
  • Maximise multi-threaded applications for faster and concurrent execution
Fast Fully Buffered DIMM 667MHz memory
  • Match the high-performance speed of the Intel Xeon processors with new-generation, high-performance memory supporting optimised throughput
  • Online spare and memory mirroring provide customers with two ways to increase systems and application reliability by allowing the system to continue
  • Interleaved memory to improve application performance
Support for up to 8 hot-swap SAS or SATA HDDs or 12 hot-swap SAS or SATA SFF HDDs
  • SAS provides increased performance, simplified cabling, and better fault isolation than parallel SCSI without cost premium
  • SATA provides high capacity at lower cost
  • Up to 4.0TB of data storage capacity, 1.76TB with SFF drives
Six available PCI I/O slots for system expansion, scalability
  • Gives you expandability choices and the capability to increase I/O bandwidth for performance and productivity
Three PCI-Express slots
  • Allows customers to achieve faster interconnect speeds than PCI-X 133MHz
Two PCI-X slots
  • Enables customers to continue to utilise their PCI-X adapters while they plan their transition to the PCI-Express standard
Integrated Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)-0, -1, -1E, -5, -6 and -10
  • Advanced RAID protection takes high availability to your HDDs efficiently without sacrificing performance and does not require an I/O slot - leaving more room for system availability
Hot-swap/redundant power and cooling
  • Reduces downtime by maintaining system performance if a fan/power supply needs to be replaced
Externally visible light path diagnostic panel
  • Gives information about a failing component without interrupting system operation - visible without removal of system covers
  • Expedites hardware repairs to dramatically reduce service time
  • Provides a lighted path to failing component inside the system
Integrated System Management Processor
