  • Page 5 • IMM supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). High-performance server subsystems System x3400 M2 servers are high-throughput, two-way, SMP-capable network servers with excellent performance scalability when you add memory and a second processor. They incorporate powerful Intel Xeon DP processors with QPI. These flip- chip DP chipset 36D processors feature advanced transfer L2 caches integrated onto the processor core and run at the same clock speed as the processor core.
  • Page 6: Integrated Management Module

    The x3400 M2 subsystems are tuned to provide solid system throughput from processor, to memory, to bus, to disk-intensive I/O. These features, combined with SMP capability, make the System x3400 M2 servers an excellent choice for a standalone or clustered general-business application, file, and print server.
