IBM BladeCenter HS22v

The IBM BladeCenter HS22V model blade center is a single-wide dual-socket blade server designed with virtualization in mind. Optimized for versatility, with the performance, power & cooling functionality required for high-performance applications and virtualization, the HS22V includes 18 fully-buffered DIMMs, which can support up to 288GB of VLP DDR3 memory per machine. This large memory capacity enables you to fit more virtual machines into each blade.

Standard HS22V blade servers come with a single processor, with the ability to add another one. The Intel Xeon 5500 and 5600 series processors (running up to 3.6GHz) are supported in the HS22V, which includes quad- and six-core models, and includes low voltage options.

Other features include:

• 4MB - 12MB L3 cache
• 1333MHz front-side bus
• dual, fixed 1.8" solid state drives (SSDs), up to 100GB internal storage
• support for RAID-0, -1 and -1E
• support for RAID-5 with optional battery-backed cache

Expandability

The IBM HS22V blade server includes 1 x CIOv slot for a standard PCIe daughter card, and 1 x CFFh slot for high-speed PCIe daughter card, for a total of 8 I/O ports for each blade, 4 x high-speed or 8 virtual I/O ports with Virtual Fabric for IBM BladeCenter. The Virtual Fabric Adapter can be integrated into the HS22 blade server, but standard models include dual Gigabit Ethernet ports with TOE.

Reliability, Availability, Serviceability

The BladeCenter HS22V conforms to NEBS/ETSI standards, making it suitable for ruggedized and telecom environments.
