Intel®-based IBM System x servers let you simplify your server environment and increase flexibility with virtualisation. Intel® architecture-based servers provide breakthrough performance and proven reliability for the foundation of your virtualised environment.

Reduce costs. Intel® technology-based virtualisation solutions enable you to consolidate more applications on fewer physical servers, help avoid costly data centre expansion by lowering management costs.

Build performance. With Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors, you get performance and headroom to improve the average virtualisation performance by as much as 2.5x over dual-core systems.1 Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) reduces the need for compute-intensive software translations between the guest and host operating systems.2
