Chapter 4. IBM NeXtScale nx360 M4
compute node
The IBM NeXtScale nx360 M4 compute node, machine type 5455, is a half-wide,
dual-socket server that is designed for data centers that require high
performance but are constrained by floor space. It supports Intel Xeon
E5-2600 v2 series processors up to 12 cores, which provide more performance
per server than previous generation systems.
With more computing power per watt and the latest Intel Xeon processors, you
can reduce costs while maintaining speed and availability. A total of 12 nx360 M4
servers can be installed into the 6U NeXtScale n1200 enclosure.
This chapter describes the nx360 M4 compute node and includes the following
