eX5 eXFlash — Maximum internal storage performance
Maximize performanceMaximize performance- Up to 200x performance increase for local
databases- 99% better performance per watt for database-type
workloads
Maximize cost savingsMaximize cost savings- 100 to 1 replacement ratio of traditional drives,
replacing thousands of drives and cables - $670,000 hardware savings per eXFlash over equal
IOPs HDDs- Up to 40x greater solution density over traditional
HDD solution
Maximize reliabilityMaximize reliability- RAID 5/6 controller for redundant data storage
reliability at 37.5% greater capacity- Greater reliability over traditional HDDs
eXFlash Features
Up to 3 eXFlashs per system UP to 240,000 IOPs, 1.6TB per eXFlash RAID 5/6 and high throughput non-raided Hot swappable, front accessible, modules
Combination of solid-state disk technology and high-speed controller architecture deliver extreme performance to replace limited IOPs of traditional HDDs

FlexNode Partioning feature allows a single system to dynamically become two distinct systems or back again
FlexNode benefits include:
Scheduled Provisioning: Run interactive apps by day on a 2-socket system and batch jobs by night on 4-socket system
Faster Qualification: Qualify a single platform for 2- and 4- socket, or 4- and 8- socket server needs
Optimize SW licensing costs: Execute partitions to optimize SW licensing costs when priced per system cores
Built-in virtualization: Run multiple OS on the same box without hypervisor overhead
Greater security: Workload isolation to assure quality of service

FlexNode Automatic Node Failover
Automatic node failover maximizes systems uptime
What is it… If one node in a multi-node system experiences a fatal error and a shutdown, the
multi-node system will reboot After reboot the remaining system continues to operate without the failed node
Customer value… Greater uptime: Automatic reboot brings the eX5 system back up automatically.
Monolithic multi-socket systems will stay down until the fatal error is resolved. Simpler management: Easier identification of the failure
Automatic reboot
Back up and running!Back up and running! Down until help arrives!Down until help arrives!
