IBM's System x with eXFlash: Workload Optimized, Pre-Integrated Server/Storage

In this Advisory, Clabby Analytics takes a closer look at a class of servers known as - pre-integrated ‖ servers. These types of servers are usually assembled by information systems vendors that have deep system/subsystem knowledge - giving them the ability to highly integrate a system's central processing unit (CPU) with underlying subsystems (memory, storage, input/output [I/O]. The end result of this deep integration is an extremely high performance system design upon which a variety of workloads can be mounted.
