BladeCenter LS22
| Features |
Benefits |
| Modular system delivering raw processing power |
- Slim and powerful, the blade design delivers high density without sacrificing server processor performance
- Up to 84 dual-socket servers in an industry-standard rack or up to 40 dual-socket servers in a telecommunications industry-standard 84-inch rack, packing more performance per square foot and saving you valuable real estate
|
| Supports up to two Six-Core AMD Opteron processors |
- Support for latest six-core processors.
- Support for standard-power processors as well as high-efficiency processors that draw up to one-third less power than the standard processors.
- AMD Opteron processors offer an Integrated Memory Controller that allows for increased bandwidth, reduced latency and energy efficiency for many applications.
- Dual-Dynamic Power Management optimizes power consumption between the processor cores and memory controller and helps boost performance.
|
| LS22 memory booster improves performance for memory-intensive applications |
- Up to 96% faster memory throughput using the LS22 memory booster compared to systems running without the LS22 memory booster1
- Adds even more memory performance for applications that require large data processing and transferring
|
| Maximum memory size of 64 GB of DDR II memory and maximum speed with industrys only blade to run at up to 800 MHz |
- Up to 8 DIMM slots per server blade
- Very Low Profile (VLP) DDR II DIMMs help to maximize the amount of memory that can be installed in the ultra-dense blade
- 800 MHz memory
|
| Support for two internal SAS hard disk drives (HDDs) or two solid-state disks, along with expansion opportunities and additional three hot-swap HDDs |
- The LS22 supports up to two internal SAS HDDs in a choice of capacities
- Solid-state drive improves reliability and energy efficiency with a choice of capacities
- The Storage and I/O Expansion Blade (SIO) allows support for up to three additional hot-swap HDDs
- The SIO includes optional support for RAID-5 and battery-backed cache
|
| Internal, standard USB 2.0 port |
- USB port supports a standard flash drive for applications including security and embedded hypervisors
- Integrated USB devices enable easier installation of software that ships with the blade
|
| Integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet connections |
- Each blade includes two TOE- (TCI/P Offload Engine) enabled NIC ports capable of transmitting large amounts of data at fast speeds for high-performance network applications
- Robust design supports teaming and failover
- iSCSI and RDMA are also supported
|
| Two high-availability midplane connections |
- Each blade is reliably and easily connected via two redundant paths to the passive midplane and the integrated switching and power infrastructure contained in the BladeCenter chassis
|
| Light path diagnostics standard |
- LED lights provide a quick and easy guide to troubleshoot your server. Faster problem resolution means higher availability and more server uptime
- Independently powered, allowing you to remove the server from the chassis and still illuminate the light path LEDs
|
| Predictive Failure Analysis |
- Helps save you time and money by decreasing planned and unplanned downtime
- Increases uptime by allowing you to receive proactive alerts in advance of failure
|
| Integrated Baseboard Management Controller |
- Increases server availability by continuously monitoring your system and notifying you of potential system failures or changes
|
| IBM Systems Director and IBM Systems Director Extensionscomprehensive 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 server deployment and redeployment for efficient installation and start-up
|
| Operating System support |
- Microsoft Windows, Linux, VMware, Sun Solaris
|
| 3-year customer replaceable unit and onsite limited warranty2 |
- The IBM Global Services organization provides reliable, dedicated and skilled assistance when you need it
- Offers peace of mind for an extended period of time
