The IBM System x3200 can help lower
your IT costs throughout its business
lifecycle. The x3200 is not only
affordable to purchase, but it’s also
easy to manage and keep up to date.
Keep your business in business
With unprecedented system availability,
the x3200 can help you maximise
uptime for your file and print or network
infrastructure applications. Select Serial
Advanced Technology Attachment
(SATA), near-line SATA or Serial
Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives
(HDDs) depending on your reliability
requirements. If a HDD or power supply
fails, the x3200 can stay up and
running with redundant power supplies
and hot-swap SATA and SAS HDDs.
Protect your data, your investment
Standard on select models, integrated
hardware RAID-0 or -1 provides
protection for your business-critical
data. Optional upgrades to RAID-5 or
tape backup solutions are also
available.
Manage your growth
The x3200 helps minimise management
costs for distributed or remote
applications. It supports industry-
standard, IPMI-based systems
management and the IBM Remote
Supervisor Adapter (RSA) II for
advanced hardware management –
enabling your IT staff to do more
with less.
