The IBM System x3550 7978, part number 7978C1G, is a rack-mounted server designed for enterprise-level computing. This server is equipped with the Intel Xeon E5320 processor, which operates at a clock speed of 1.86 GHz. The processor is part of the Intel Xeon 5300 series, known for its balance between performance and energy efficiency, making it suitable for a range of data-intensive tasks such as database management, virtualisation, and high-performance computing. The x3550 supports dual processors, although this configuration includes only one Xeon E5320 by default.
Memory considerations are important for this server, as it can support up to 32 GB of ECC DDR2 memory, although the specific configuration for part number 7978C1G may vary. The server’s ability to use Error-Correcting Code (ECC) memory ensures greater reliability by detecting and correcting data corruption, helping maintain system stability under heavy workloads.
Storage capabilities for the IBM x3550 include support for a variety of HDD configurations, leveraging the server’s hot-swappable drive bays for easy maintenance. The x3550 can handle both SATA and SAS drives, offering flexibility in storage options. For businesses that require high availability, the inclusion of integrated RAID controllers provides the ability to configure arrays like RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 for data redundancy and fault tolerance.
The compact design of the x3550 makes it ideal for space-constrained environments. It is a 1U rack mount system, allowing for efficient use of rack space in data centres. The server comes with an integrated Gigabit Ethernet port, enabling fast and reliable network connectivity, critical for data-intensive operations.
