Key features

The increasing demand for cloud-computing and analytics workloads by enterprises to meet social,
mobile, and big data requirements drives innovation to find new ways to build informational systems.
Clients are looking for cost-optimized and fit-for-purpose IT solutions that manage large amounts of data,
easily scale performance, and provide enterprise class reliability.
Built on decades of innovation, Lenovo introduces its sixth generation of Enterprise X-Architecture®
technology into the Flex System ecosystem with the announcement of the Flex System X6 family of
compute nodes. Like their rack-mount counterparts, the System x3850 X6 and x3950 X6, Flex System X6
Compute Nodes are fast, agile, and resilient:
Fast application performance means immediate access to information.
Agile system design helps reduce acquisition costs and provides the ability to upgrade processor and
memory technology at each refresh within the same chassis.
Resilient platforms maximize application uptime and promote easy integration in virtual
environments.
X6 servers continue to lead the way as the shift toward mission-critical scalable databases, business
analytics, virtualization, enterprise applications, and cloud-computing applications accelerates.
Fast application performance
Each compute node offers numerous features to boost performance:
Based on the Intel Xeon processor E7 v2 product family, which improves productivity by offering
superior system performance:
o
Two processors in each compute node, which are scalable up to eight processors in four compute
nodes.
o
Each processor has up to 15 cores and 37.5 MB of L3 cache, depending on the processor that is
selected.
o
Processors operate at up to 3.4 GHz.
o
Memory bus speeds up to 1600 MHz.
o
QPI links between processors up to 8 GTps.
Supports up to 48 DIMM sockets, with 24 DIMMs per processor.
Intelligent and adaptive system performance with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows processor
cores to run at maximum speeds during peak workloads by temporarily going beyond processor
thermal design power (TDP).
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology boosts performance for multi-threaded applications by enabling
simultaneous multi-threading within each processor core, up to two threads per core.
Intel Virtualization Technology integrates hardware-level virtualization hooks that allow operating
system vendors to better use the hardware for virtualization workloads.
Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) improve floating-point performance for compute-intensive
technical and scientific applications.
The usage of solid-state drives (SSDs) instead of traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) can improve I/O
performance. An SSD can support up to 100 times more I/O operations per second (IOPS) than a
typical HDD.
