Outstanding 32/64-bit price/performance in a rack-dense 1U, 2-way server for HPC applications

yOptional ACT interconnect cabling technology can eliminate hundreds of connectors and hundreds of feet of KVM cables per rack, while helping to increase reliability and reduce setup time. This saves customers money in terms of KVM cabling, PDUs and KVM switches, as well as the time necessary to manage all those cables switches. The 1U form factor allows the customer to pack a lot of power in a small data center, while minimizing the floor space cost for all those servers.

yThe integrated systems management controller sends hardware alerts to IBM Director, which in turn notifies the administrator of potential issues.

yIntegrated systems management controllers can be linked among systems for multiserver control, using an optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II. These adapters allow 24 servers to be controlled remotely from one console.

Service

yChipkill memory is up to 16X12 better than standard ECC memory at correcting memory errors, which should reduce the downtime due to memory failures.

yThe one-year(parts and labor) limited onsite warranty13 (upgradable to three years) gives your customers peace of mind and greater investment protection.

yToolless, cover removal provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts. This means less time (and therefore less money) spent servicing the e325. Toolless rails allow e325 servers to be installed more quickly and easily. Similarly, hot-swap, redundant HDDs mean greater system uptime while these components are being serviced.

yThe integrated systems management controller provides local systems management, as well as remote support via a Remote Supervisor Adapter. The integrated systems management controller, which works with IBM Director to help increase system availability for users, enables IBM service personnel to use sophisticated diagnostic tools to resolve problems quickly.
