Processor and the fifth generation of IBM X architecture? (EX5) memory capacity and reliability features. The procurement of a reduced two-processor system, you can save half the licensing costs, while reducing energy consumption and reduce the total cost of ownership. You do not have to because the volume is reduced at the expense of performance. x3690 X5 has the leading performance, including the ability to better handle the database transactions than the industry-standard dual-processor server. A 

 Unparalleled flexibility 
 x3690 X5 has more flexibility, can help you meet the changing process of enterprise development work load demand. With MAX5, you can dual-processor system memory capacity doubled to 64 DIMM slots. MAX5 memory expansion feature that allows each system, doubling the number of virtual machines, each virtual machine at half the cost, thereby increasing the utilization and optimize your investment. An easy upgrade path and a custom extension options to make the selection of full freedom. For example, you can purchase the memory, without having to purchase excess processing capacity.
