Please join us for our August 2010 meeting at the SC State Museum's Vista Room. The SC State Museum is located at 301 Gervais Street in Columbia.
The August meeting is sponsored by Dynamix Group.
Topic: Virtual Server and Database Solutions
John Watts will discuss platforms that are ideal for consolidating large numbers of virtual machines onto a single server, and for virtualizing large databases and mission-critical workloads, providing companies with reduced costs, improved service, and reduced risk.
The IBM® System x® eX5 enterprise server portfolio, running VMware® vSphere™, represents a best-of-breed set of virtualization platforms. VMware vSphere on IBM’s highly-scalable eX5 server platforms allows the highest possible consolidation ratio onto x86 systems. This new portfolio of servers includes the System x3850 X5, x3690, X5, and BladeCenter HX5undefinedbased on the intelligent Intel® Xeon® processor 7500 series for the expandable server segmentsundefinedalong with the MAX5 memory expansion unit and the eXFlash solid-state drive unit for high data throughput. VMware selected the IBM System x3950 M2 as the reference platform for the scale-up capabilities of the VMware vSphere software suite. Now, IBM has evolved that industry leading eX4 platform to an eX5 portfolio that is able to scale to new levels.
