Benefits: |
|
Modular system delivering raw processing power |
|
- Ultra-slim and powerful blade design delivers high density without sacrificing server processor performance.
- Up to 84 servers in an industry standard rack or up to 80 in a telco-industry standard 84-inch rack, packing more performance per square foot and saving you valuable central office and/or data center real estate.
- Easily add or change blades without disrupting the operation of other blades installed in the chassis.
|
|
Supports up to two ultra low-power Intel Xeon dual-core processors |
|
- Equipped with Intel Hyper-Threading technology, the Intel Xeon Processor delivers server performance ideal for compute-intensive, next-generation network and IT application workloads.
- Solid performance, low power-consuming dual-core processors.
|
|
Up to 16GB of DDR II memory |
|
- DDR II delivers better memory bandwidth and reduced latency over previous DDR 333.
- Error checking and correction offer high performance with mainframe-inspired fault protection.
- Reduced power consumption over other Intel Xeon Dual Core processors.
|
|
32-bit application support |
|
- The HS20 blade delivers incredible performance efficiency for 32-bit applications.
|
|
Support for up to two SAS hard disk drives (HDDs) |
|
- The HS20 supports two internal small form factor Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) HDDs.
|
|
Integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet connections |
|
- Enabled to transmit large amounts of data at fast speeds for high-performance network applications.
- Robust design supports teaming and failover.
|
|
Two high-availability midplane connections |
|
- Provides durable and reliable connections to all chassis resources.
|
|
Blade server interconnects |
|
- Supports an optional 2-port (up to 4Gb per port) Fibre Channel Expansion Card (Host Bus Adapter) to deliver a high-performance, highly manageable storage area network (SAN).
- Supports an optional 2-port (1Gb per port) Gigabit Ethernet Expansion Card to enable additional Ethernet bandwidth and allow for connection to multiple LAN segments.
|
|
Light path diagnostics standard |
|
- Provides quick and easy guide to troubleshoot your server for higher availability and system uptime.
- Independently powered, allowing you to remove the server from the chassis and still illuminate the light path LEDs.
|
|
|
Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) |
|
- Helps save you time and money by decreasing planned and unplanned downtime.
- Increases uptime by allowing you to receive proactive alerts as much as 24-48 hours in advance.
|
|
|
Integrated System Management Processor |
|
- Increases server availability by continuously monitoring your system and notifying you of potential system failures or changes.
|
|
|
IBM Director and IBM Director Extensions comprehensive systems management tools |
|
- Exploits hardware capabilities by surfacing pertinent information about your system, allowing you to automate a response.
- Helps increase uptime, reduce costs and improve productivity via advanced server management capabilities.
- Provides intelligent systems management for rock-solid reliability.
- IBM Remote Deployment Manager simplifies and automates deployment and redeployment for efficient installation and startup of your blade servers.
