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
