2.8.8 Implementing an IBM System x iDataPlex Solution
by David Watts, Srihari Angaluri, Martin Bachmaier, Sean Donnellan, Duncan Furniss, Kevin Xu
IBM R○ iDataPlex TM is a new data center solution for Web 2.0, high performance
computing (HPC) cluster, and corporate batch processing customers experiencing
limitations of electrical power, cooling, physical space, or a combination of these. By
providing a "big picture" approach to the design, iDataPlex uses innovative ways to
integrate Intel-based processing at the node, rack, and data center levels to maximize
power and cooling efficiencies while providing the compute density needed.
An iDataPlex rack is built with industry-standard components to create flexible
configurations of servers, chassis, and networking switches that integrate easily.
Using technology for flexible node configurations, iDataPlex can configure customized
solutions for applications to meet specific business needs for computing power, storage
intensity, and the right I/O and networking.
This IBM Redbooks publication introduces iDataPlex and the innovations in its
design, outlines the benefits of the iDataPlex solution, and positions iDataPlex with IBM
System x and BladeCenter servers.
The book then goes into the details of iDataPlex components and the supported
configurations. It describes the application considerations for an iDataPlex solution
and aspects of data center design that are central to an iDataPlex solution. The book
concludes by introducing the services offerings that are available from IBM for planning
and installing an iDataPlex solution.
