Product Guide

The x3850 X5 server is the fifth generation of the Enterprise X-Architecture, delivering innovation with

enhanced reliability and availability features to enable optimal performance for databases, enterprise

applications, and virtualized environments. Environments that run around the clock to supply information

world-wide require dependable servers with features that can tolerate a component failure without total

shutdown.

The x3850 X5 server packs numerous fault-tolerant and high-availability features into a high-density, rack-

optimized package that helps to significantly reduce the space needed to support massive network

computing operations. A single x3850 X5 supports up to four of the new Intel Xeon E7 high-performance

10-core processors and up to 3 TB of memory. Two x3850 X5 servers can be connected together to form a

single-system image with up to eight processors and up to 6 TB of RAM. This processing capacity is ideal

for large-scale database or virtualization requirements. Figure 1 shows the System x3850 X5.
