Rack optimized

The new, 1U rack-optimized, IBM System x3455 is architected for efficient power with dual core AMD Opteron 2300 series processors, while delivering outstanding performance. As compute density continues to increase, the value of multi-core N/2 socket being significantly more power efficient than N sockets is manifested in total system power. For performance, Hypertransport™ technology helps eliminate bottlenecks and provide access to data. Additionally, the system comes standard with one fixed SATA drive and can be installed with up to two SATA drives for 1TB of internal storage. Optionally, one or two SAS drives can be installed. SAS installation also requires the installation of the IBM SAS HBA controller.
