IBM NeXtScale – Simplicity Native eXpansion – Adding Value, not Complexity
Base node delivers robust and dense raw compute capabilities NeXtScale’s Native Expansion capability allows seamless upgrades
of the base to add common functionalities– Storage– Graphics Acceleration or Co-Processing
What is Native Expansion?
No Exotic Components. No Mid-plane Dependencies.No Exotic Components. No Mid-plane Dependencies.

IBM NeXtScale – FlexibilityHow Do You Want Your IT to Arrive?
NeXtScale can be shipped fully configured and ready to power on
– Fully racked and cabled– Labeling with user supplied naming– Pre programmed IMMs and addresses– Burn in testing before shipment at no added cost
Prefer to receive systems in boxes – no problem
