Original Press Release:
IBM eServer xSeries 346 Express Model -- 2.8 GHz/800 MHz, 1 MB L2 Cache Intel Xeon Processors for Greater Performance
Overview
The xSeries® 346 server brings the following to rack-optimized server applications:
o Powerful, two-way, SMP-capable Intel(TM) Xeon processing
o 64-bit memory addressing - Up to 16 GB memory (when 2 GB DIMMs become available)
o PCI-X architecture and upgradability to PCI-Express
o Ultra320 SCSI technology
o High-availability and manageability features
o Support for Integrated xSeries Adapter for iSeries(TM) (1519-200)
Optimized for Intel's EM64T, the x346 enables customers whose
applications could benefit from greater memory addressability to
migrate to 64-bit computing.
Express Portfolio
Select configurations of xSeries systems are part of the IBM Express Portfolio program - designed, developed, and priced to meet the specific needs of mid-sized businesses.
Features of the Express program:
o Everyday low price.
o Additional supply planned to help establish business continuity and enable on demand for small and medium business (SMB) environments.
o xSeries Express offerings are solutions configured to match the business needs of SMB customers.
This server is available with a 2.8 GHz/800 MHz, 1 MB L2 Cache Xeon processor with hyperthreading and simultaneous multithreaded (SMT) technologies for more efficient program execution.
With a compact 2U footprint, the rack-optimized xSeries 346 server helps save valuable rack space and resources. Yet, it is packed with highly integrated, advanced server features designed for compute-intensive, Web-based, or enterprise network applications where space is a consideration.
