Calibrated
Vectored
Cooling
Updated December 18, 2009
Bezel Design
• What
is
Calibrated
Vectored
Cooling?
– Innova7ve
thermal
design
that
op7mizes
air
intake,
fan
placement
and
zone
cooling
technologies
to
maximize
the
air
flow
inside
the
server
for
op7mal
cooling
efficiency
• Benefits
– More
func7on
in
a
smaller
design
– Allows
greater
internal
scalability
as
heat
dissipates
more
efficiently
– Components
run
at
cooler
opera7ng
temperatures,
resul7ng
in
improved
reliability
• Technologies
– Integrated,
holis7c
server
design
(i.e.
planar
and
mechanical
designed
together)
– Advanced
thermal
tes7ng
and
design
(i.e.
airflow
modeling
and
op7miza7on)
– Isolated
zone
cooling
– Fan
technologies
(i.e.
counter
rota7ng
fans,
variable
speed
fans)
– Vapor
chamber
heat
sinks
Mainframe Class

• What
is
Predic0ve
Failure
Analysis
(PFA)?
– Component
analysis
logic
that
can
predict
an
impending
failure
based
on
data
from
the
component
– Typically
no7fica7on
is
within
24
to
48
hours
of
a
poten7al
failure
• Benefits
– Less
unscheduled
down7me
– Bejer
overall
availability
of
the
servers
– Components
can
be
replaced
under
warranty
prior
to
a
failure

IBM
BladeCenter
as
a
Virtualiza7on
Plakorm
Highly
resilient,
energy
and
cost
efficient
§ IBM BladeCenter integration reduces cost and complexity
– Lowers connectivity cost (SAN/LAN) by 44% vs. rack servers
– Eliminates 80+% of all cables
§ BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager automates network and storage
address virtualization for fast failover recovery and easy
expansion
§ IBM BladeCenter infrastructure has no single point of failure
unlike competition
§ BladeCenter H delivers 12% better performance/watt and now
features industry s most efficient (95%) power supplies providing
additional potential savings
§ BladeCenter H provides 67% to 250% more Ethernet uplink
bandwidth than competitor blades which is critical for VM
movement (vMotion)

Let s Go!
Next Steps:
1. Meet with IBM Client Representative
or System x sales specialist for a
deeper discussion of virtualization
and cloud
2. Review virtualization implementation
plans & considerations
3. Decide if an integrated or a custom
solution is right for you
