Name：IBM System x iDataPlex dx360 M4
   Details
Overview
 
Highlights
·         Extraordinary performance for your most-demanding applications
·         Half-depth design provides power and cooling efficiency and ultimate data center space savings
·         Easy to deploy, integrate, service and manage
Your applications are demanding. Analytics, imaging and simulation workloads require extreme computational power. But with most IT budgets under constant pressure, your organization also demands financial responsibility. To support these competing challenges, you need a scalable high-performance computing system that supports the highest possible computational performance coupled with simple management, all while offering energy efficiency and extraordinary density to help you conserve power and data center floor space.
Improved compute density
The IBM System x® iDataPlex® dx360 M4 is designed to optimize density and performance within typical data center infrastructure limits. The unique half-depth form factor is designed to help you improve compute density in your space-constrained data center while also improving system cooling and energy efficiency.
