IBM
Drive Prices Down for Scalable Enterprise Nodes
Overview
Entry models of the xSeries 440
server establish new price points for
xSeries server nodes powered by
Enterprise X-Architecture
technology. Two-way or four-way
®
SMP models, using Intel
processors, bring prices down while
scalability and advanced
mission-critical features remain.
These 4 U rack-optimized servers
feature mainframe-inspired
technologies that bring outstanding
performance and reliability to Intel
processor-based servers. Enterprise
X-Architecture features include:
• XpandOnDemand scalability —
Affordable, modular node building
blocks ready for eight-way
processing and beyond
• XceL4 Server Accelerator Cache
— Up to 64 MB of high-speed
system cache memory propels
memory-to-processor
performance to new levels
• Active Memory — Memory
mirroring and Memory ProteXion,
similar to hot-spare on DIMM
extend up time
• Remote I/O expansion — Lets you
triple the number of high-speed,
PCI-X I/O expansion slots
available
Power and Scalability for e-business

Xeon two- or four-way
SMP processor models with
full-speed 512 KB ECC L2 cache,
400 MHz quad-pumped front-side
bus, and new NetBurst
microarchitecture and
hyper-threading performance
technologies
• 2 GB or 4 GB of high-speed PC133
SDRAM memory (model
dependent) — 32 GB maximum
• 32 MB or 64 MB of XceL4 Server
Accelerator Cache (model
dependent)
