    Multi-core processors

    A 2-socket, quad-core processor systemhas 8 processing threads

    Most applications are designed for 4 to 8

    processing threads

    This is driving the requirement forvirtualization not just for higher utilization.

    These systems with a large number of

    processors, working at much higherutilization requires need a lot of data ready tobe processed. The memory provides thatdata.

    10 + 50 Second Elevator Pitch for 1- and 2-Socket Servers

    Significantly lower your costs & dramatically improve performance while relying on IBMs trusted brand.

    Intels new 6-core Xeon 5600 Series processors offer up to 60% performance per watt boost over IntelXeon 5500 processors(1)

    Systems use same performance as Xeon 5500 processors at 30% less power(1)

    The x3650 M3/x3550 M3 servers offer 15:1 consolidation - up to 50% reduction in operating expense, 3

    month ROI(1) compared to legacy servers Our new servers offer 95% lower power and facilities costs(1) compared to legacy servers

    The x3650 M3 and x3550 M3 servers have 50% more memory capacity than most recent generationservers to support compute intensive applications(2)

    The x3650 M3 and x3550 M3 lower cost and increase flexibility with a 60% increase in local storagecapacity over most recent generation servers. They support 9.6TB and 4.8TB internal storage respectively.

    The x3650 M3 and x3550 M3 offer an annual power savings of $100 per server compared to legacy

    servers or $50k+ for a typical data center of 500 systems(3) with new energy efficient design. Reduce administration costs up to 35% when running Windows and up to 44% when running Linux withredesigned systems management, including Director, IMM, UEFI, ToolsCenter(3).

    Complete 6Gb RAID solutions for increased performance and throughput

    IBM Systems & Technology Group Education & Sales Enablement 2010 IBM Corporation

    Why is management so important?

    Using the right virtualizationtechnologies is a critical success factorin a virtualization or consolidationproject

    Management of virtualized systems is a

    critical success factor for continuedoperations

    > Physical and virtual resources

    > Ability for management tools tointeroperate

    > Enabling for service management

    As a seller, you should care because ofthe platform management stickiness

    factor

    the days of focusing on physicalsystem management are now gone.

    Upper-level management wants greater IToperational efficiencies. CIOs requireresources to be virtualized to increaseresource ut i l ization and sim pl i fy

    managem ent, and that data center energy

    consum pt ion be reduced.

    - Clabby Analytics, March 2009

    Growing use of virtualization solutions has

    started to slow the rate of growth in physicalserver bases. But large-scalevir tual izat ion creates new s ets of

    manageabi l i ty and service qual i ty
