IBM today announced that it will begin rolling out a family ofIntel Ivy Bridge-equipped versions of its M4 server expected to reduce data center power costs and offer entry level virtualization servers. HOT HOT HEAT: Ivy Bridge chips run hotter than predecessors The availability dates of Xeon V2 processors in M4 devices vary,with the 1u x3250, 2u x3530 and x3630 rack systems, as well as thex3100 mini-tower planned for release on May 31, while customerswill have to wait until June 4 for an updated BladeCenter HS23E.IBM says the System x3100 M4 single-socket tower server is designedfor small businesses and first-time buyers. Most of the preconfigured FlexSystem server line will follow onJune 14, with the exception of several ServeRAID M5100 products,which won't be released until August 13. The x3750 2U rack systemwill be available July 12. Roland Hagan, vice president and business line executive for Systemx, said in a statement that IBM's wide variety of server offeringshelp it stand out from the pack. "Unlike many of our competitors, IBM offers clients a range ofsolutions from economical infrastructure, to performance optimizedsolutions, to expert integrated systems to help any size enterpriseaddress its top business challenges," he asserted. IBM's announcement is the not the first to detail the integrationof the Ivy Bridge architecture into mainline server products, asDell confirmed a week ago that it, too, would bring the new processor technology to itsbusiness customers. While Ivy Bridge does not provide a meteoric performance gaincompared to previous-generation Intel architectures, its ability toreduce energy usage may quickly make it a favorite in the datacenter. Intel has stated the Ivy Bridge chips will outperform existingprocessors. The chips will include 3D transistors and will be madeusing the new 22-nanometer manufacturing process. Intel has claimedthat 22-nm 3D transistors will consume a little less than half thepower and be 37% faster than its existing 32-nm process chips,which have 2D transistors.
