Lenovo System x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 Type 6241

The Lenovo® System x3850 X6 and x3950 X6 server is a rack model, modular design server, for virtualization, database, and computational intensive computing. The modular design allows for upgrade from a 4-socket (4U-high) to an 8-socket (8U-high) server, using the same building blocks that are used for the 4-socket server. It is the next generation enterprise server based on the Intel Xeon™ EX E7-4xxx v2/v3/v4 and E7-8xxx v2/v3/v4 processor technology. This high-performance, scalable server is ideally suited for enterprise environments that require superior input/output (I/O) flexibility and high manageability.
