Compact, powerful compute node for high-performance 

computing 

IBM System x3450 

Highlights 

■  Features industry-leading 

technology to deliver maximum 

performance for minimal 

investment 

■  Helps manage growth, 

complexity and risk with large 

memory addressability and 

scalable systems 

■  Saves valuable real estate for 

large cluster deployments due 

to its 1U space-saving design 

Organizations need powerful servers 

that can deliver high performance— 

providing only necessary features. The 

IBM System x3450 provides maximum 

performance for a fixed investment, 

enabling organizations to run compute-

intensive applications. 

Innovation drives performance 

The x3450 delivers high performance 

thanks to quad-core and dual-core 

processors with 1600 MHz front-side 

bus to speed I/O and 16 Fully Buffered 

DIMMs for large memory addressability. 

Both allow organizations to run applica­

tions more quickly. 

The x3450 is designed with fewer gen­

eral purpose features and minimal hard­

ware component redundancies. Other 

highlights include: 

● 

16 DIMMs for better system per­

formance ideal for compute-

intensive applications. 

● 

DDR II for power-efficient memory. 

● 

Single non-redundant power supply 

for energy efficiency. 

Save costs by scaling out 

The x3450 provides scalable memory 

solutions to accommodate expansion. 

Building on existing systems, organiza­

tions can plan for future growth while 

protecting their investment. 

Compact design for high efficiency 

The space-saving x3450 design helps 

provide more space for crowded data 

centers without compromising perform­

ance. High performance computing 

has expanded beyond universities and 

research organizations to become 

mainstream. The x3450 delivers the 

costs and performance needed in this 

expanding market.
