FlexNode benefits include:

Scheduled Provisioning: Run scale-out apps by day on a 2P system and scale-up jobs by night on 4P system

Optimize SW licensing costs: Execute partitions to optimize SW licensing costs when priced per socket

Faster Qualification: Qualify a single platform for 2- and 4-socket server needs

Built-in virtualization: Run multiple OSs on the same box without hypervisor overhead

Greater security: Workload isolation to assure quality of service

Two 2P SystemsOne 4P System

FlexNode feature allows a single System to dynamically become two distinct systems or back again



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 system

will reboot as a single-node After reboot the remaining system continues to operate without the failed node

Customer value… Greater uptime: Automatic reboot brings the eX5 system back online faster than manual

intervention. Monolithic multi-socket systems down until the fatal error resolved. Simpler management: Easier identification of the failure

Automatic reboot
