The IBM System x3455 7986, featuring the Second-Generation Opteron 2218 processor, is a versatile and efficient server solution designed to meet varying computational needs. The Opteron 2218 delivers a clock speed of 2.6 GHz, making it well suited for handling multiple applications and work environments that require substantial processing power. This processor operates under the Socket F (1207) type, and is based on the highly efficient dual-core architecture which helps in processing multi-threaded workloads, therefore optimising performance for computing tasks that demand parallel processing capabilities.
The system itself lacks any pre-installed memory, meaning that memory upgrades or configurations will need to be specified and installed based on the user’s particular needs. The absence of pre-configured storage indicates that essential components such as hard drives or SSDs would also need to be added during setup depending on usage requirements. Additionally, the chassis is designed without any operating system, permitting businesses to install whichever OS best meets their specific case requirements. This offers maximum flexibility, especially for environments where a particular system architecture or application determines the choice of operating system.
The IBM System x3455 7986 is ideal for enterprises needing compact yet powerful server architectures. Its efficient CPU paired with physically lower memory and storage requirements makes it a practical entry-level or secondary server for firms aiming to control costs without sacrificing performance. It combines well with various applications including server virtualisation, enterprise resource planning (ERP), and other business-critical applications ensuring robustness in terms of computing power.
