Specific Features
Optimal performance for exacting applications of virtualization and databases Reduction of time of qualification due to standardization of two - and four-processor servers on one system Scaling of memory without adding of central processors or software licenses Acceleration of achievement of results due to deployment of the systems optimized in terms of workloads.
Maximum amount of memory
Being beyond industry standards thanks to unique innovations in fifth generation of technology IBM X-Architecture (eX5), the new IBM BladeCenter HX5 server provides the highest performance and efficiency of use of resources in a blade server form factor for applications of databases and virtualization. Thanks to the improved scaling using the MAX5 HX5 blade server provides storage capacity to 640 GB – in the blade server of double thickness. The most effective use of resources of the server is as a result reached, allowing to place more virtual machines in one system and to support work of larger and fast databases.
Cost reduction
Thanking the MAX5 HX5 server at the moment provides the largest volume of memory from all servers of this class. Increase in storage capacity using MAX5 allows to reduce costs on licensing of software, without purchasing additional processors.
Idle time in acquisition, management and upgrade with a possibility of payment in process of growth a blade server of HX5 helps to provide long protection of investments. Such opportunities as the advanced Light Path Diagnostics panel, error handling and the round-the-clock remote control, help to simplify systems management and to minimize a downtime. The automatic bypass of failures of nodes and QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) Faildown help to increase time of smooth operation.
