Take advantage of Intel®’s Xeon dual-core ultra low-power processors, with the IBM HS20 ultra low-power blade servers. These servers deliver the same high-availability features that the rest of the IBM blade server line does, but delivers excellent high performance/watt to reduce TCO of your blade architecture.
These Intel®-based, high-density blade servers are designed to be compatible with the entire family of BladeCenter® chassis. The HS20 ultra low-power blade servers support 64-bit applications, but have Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology to support smooth transitions to 64-bit computing.
| IBM HS20 Ultra low-power Blade Server Specifications | |
|---|---|
| Processors | Up to 2 x Intel Xeon Processor up to 2.0GHz |
| Max cache | 1MB or 2MB |
| Memory | Up to 16GB PC2-3200 DDR2 |
| Hard drives | Up to 2 x SAS HDDs |
| RAID | Integrated RAID 0,1 standard |
| Networking | Dual Gigabit Ethernet |
The HS20 blade servers are also packed with high availability features. With features like an integrated system management processor, Predictive Failure Analysis®, and light path diagnostics, you are ensured of maximum uptime of your blade server computing loads. In addition, you can add or change HS20 ultra low-power blade servers without disrupting the operation of other blade servers in the same IBM BladeCenter chassis. With the HS20 ultra low-power blade servers you can get high density compute power without sacrificing performance.
North American Systems’ extensive IBM experience and experience with the Blade platform makes us an ideal partner to work with for those who are looking to pilot or expand their blade server projects and deployment. Our systems engineers can provide in-depth technical insight and expertise, to help you configure a system that meets business requirements while reducing infrastructure costs.
