Implementing an IBM System x iDataPlex Solution

IBM® iDataPlex™ 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.
