IBM Flex System is a new category of computing that integrates multiple server architectures, networking, storage, and system management capability into a single system that is easy to deploy and manage. IBM Flex System has full and built-in virtualization support of servers, storage, and networking to speed provisioning and increased resiliency. In addition, it supports open industry standards, such as operating systems, networking and storage fabrics, virtualization, and system management protocols, to easily fit within existing and future data center environments. IBM Flex System is scalable and extendable with multigenerational upgrades to protect and maximize IT investments.

Scalability and performance

The x220 offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:

The Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 product family improves productivity by offering affordable dual-socket system performance with eight-core processors with up to 2.3 GHz core speeds, up to 20 MB of L3 cache, and one QPI interconnect link of up to 8 GTps.

Up to two processors, 16 cores total, and 32 threads maximize the concurrent execution of multithreaded applications.

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 multithreaded applications by enabling simultaneous multithreading 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 (AVT) improve floating point performance for compute-intensive technical and scientific applications compared to Intel Xeon 5600 series processors.

There are 12 DIMM sockets supporting low profile (LP) RDIMMs, UDIMMs and LRDIMMs, with a total capacity of up 384 GB using 32 GB LRDIMMs

Supports memory speeds of up to 1600 MHz to maximize memory performance.
Support for 1.8-inch solid-state drives to maximize I/O operations per second (IOPS) and significantly improve application performance.

The theoretical maximum memory bandwidth of the Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 product family is 38.4 GBps, which is 20% more than in the previous generation of Intel Xeon 5600 processors.
The server offers PCI Express 3.0 I/O expansion capabilities that improve the theoretical maximum bandwidth by 60% (8 GTps per link) compared to the previous generation of PCI Express 2.0.

With Intel Integrated I/O Technology, the PCI Express 3.0 controller is integrated into the Intel Xeon processor E5 family. This integration reduces I/O latency and increases overall system performance.
Support for high-bandwidth I/O adapters, up to two in each x220 Compute Node. Support for 10 Gb Ethernet, 16 Gb Fibre Channel, and FDR InfiniBand expansion cards.

Supports the PCIe Expansion Node for support for up to six additional I/O adapters.

Availability and serviceability

The x220 provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime:
Chipkill, memory mirroring, and memory rank sparing for redundancy in the event of a non-correctable memory failure.

Tool-less cover removal provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts, such as processor, memory, and adapter cards.

Hot-swap drives supporting integrated RAID 1 redundancy for data protection and greater system uptime.

A light path diagnostics panel and individual light path LEDs lead the technician to failed (or failing) components. These features simplify servicing, speeds up problem resolution, and helps improve system availability.

Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) detects when system components (such as processors, memory, and hard disk drives) operate outside of standard thresholds and generates proactive alerts in advance of possible failure, therefore increasing uptime.

Solid-state drives (SSDs), which offer significantly better reliability than traditional mechanical HDDs for greater uptime.

A built-in Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) continuously monitors system parameters, triggers alerts, and performs recovery actions in case of failures to minimize downtime.
Built-in diagnostics using Dynamic Systems Analysis (DSA) Preboot speeds up troubleshooting tasks to reduce service time.

Three-year customer replaceable unit and on-site limited warranty, next business day 9x5. Optional service upgrades are available.

Manageability and security

Powerful systems management features simplify local and remote management of the x220:
The server includes an Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) to monitor server availability and perform remote management.

An integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enables improved setup, configuration, and updates, and simplifies error handling.

Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) V 1.2 support enables advanced cryptographic functionality, such as digital signatures and remote attestation.

Industry-standard AES NI support for faster, stronger encryption.

Integrates with the IBM® Flex System™ Manager for proactive systems management. It offers comprehensive systems management for the entire IBM Flex System platform, increasing uptime, reducing costs, and improving productivity through advanced server management capabilities.
IBM Fabric Manager simplifies the deployment of infrastructure connections by managing network and storage address assignments.

Intel Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
Intel Trusted Execution Technology provides enhanced security through hardware-based resistance to malicious software attacks, allowing an application to run in its own isolated space protected from all other software running on a system.

Energy efficiency

The x220 offers the following energy-efficiency features to save energy, reduce operational costs, increase energy availability, and contribute to a green environment:
Component-sharing design of the IBM Flex System chassis provides ultimate power and cooling savings.

The Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 product family offers better performance over the previous generation while fitting into the same TDP limits.
Intel Intelligent Power Capability powers individual processor elements on and off as needed, to reduce power draw.

Low-voltage Intel Xeon processors draw less energy to satisfy demands of power and thermally constrained data centers and telecommunication environments.
Low-voltage 1.35 V DDR3 memory RDIMMs consume 15% less energy than 1.5 V DDR3 RDIMMs.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) consume as much as 80% less power than traditional spinning 2.5-inch HDDs.

The server uses hexagonal ventilation holes, a part of IBM Calibrated Vectored Cooling™ technology. Hexagonal holes can be grouped more densely than round holes, providing more efficient airflow through the system.

Active Energy Manager provides advanced power management features with actual real-time energy monitoring, reporting, and capping features.
