Manageability and security
Powerful systems management features simplify local and remote management of the x3750 M4:
The server includes an Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) to monitor server availability and
perform remote management. Remote presence support is standard.
The integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enables improved
setup, configuration, and updates, and simplifies error handling.
Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 support enables advanced cryptographic functionality,
such as digital signatures and remote attestation.
Industry-standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) NI support for faster, stronger encryption.
IBM Systems Director is included for proactive systems management. It offers comprehensive
systems management tools that increases uptime, reduces costs, and improves productivity through
advanced server management capabilities.
Intel Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow attacks
when combined with a supported operating system.
Intel Trusted Execution Technology provides enhanced security through hardware-based resistance
to malicious software attacks, allowing an application to run in its own isolated space, protected from
all other software running on a system.
Energy efficiency
The x3750 M4 offers the following energy-efficiency features to save energy, reduce operational costs,
increase energy availability, and contribute to a green environment:
Energy-efficient planar components help lower operational costs.
Highly efficient 750 W DC, 900 W AC, and 1400 W AC power supplies. 80 PLUS Platinum
certification at high voltage AC.
The Intel Xeon processor E5-4600 product family offers better performance over the previous
generation while fitting into the same thermal design power (TDP) limits.
Intel Intelligent Power Capability powers individual processor elements on and off as needed, to
reduce power draw.
Low-voltage Intel Xeon processors draw less energy to satisfy the demands of power and thermally
constrained data centers and telecommunication environments.
Low-voltage 1.35 V DDR3 memory RDIMMs consume 19% less energy compared to 1.5 V DDR3
RDIMMs.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) consume as much as 80% less power than traditional spinning 2.5-inch
HDDs.
The server uses hexagonal ventilation holes, which is a part of IBM Calibrated Vectored Cooling™
technology. Hexagonal holes can be grouped more densely than round holes, providing more efficient
airflow through the system.
IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager™ provides advanced data center power notification and
management to help achieve lower heat output and reduced cooling needs.
