Designed for versatility
The IBM BladeCenter HS22 offers flexible options to support a broad range of workloads, including virtualisation and enterprise applications. Along with intuitive Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) based tools, the HS22 can be customised and deployed quickly while best-in-class reliability features help keep you up and running. Mix and match the HS22 with the industry’s most diverse set of chassis and blades and that go beyond x86.
Built for performance
The HS22 provides outstanding performance with support for the latest Intel® Xeon® processors, high-speed input/output (I/O) and support for high memory capacity and fast memory throughput. The HS22 can run applications up to twice as fast compared to previous generation blades. In fact, you can run many applications faster than even some competitor four-socket blades.
