With the BladeCenter HX5, get up and running up to four times faster by standardising on a single platform for 2- and 4-socket server needs. Design your system to fit your workloads, instead of trying to fit your workloads onto a rigid system. With FlexNode partitioning, you can reconfigure a 4-processor system as two 2-processor systems-without physical reconfiguration. Use BladeCenter Open Fabric Manager to pre-configure and automate the failover of HX5 blades. You can optimise system utilisation, license cost and other operational costs. The independent scaling of CPU and memory with eX5 delivers customised performance, enabling maximum utilisation.

HX5 delivers the performance, reliability and versatility to handle your enterprise workloads. Move off proprietary platforms like Sun SPARC and HP with Itanium to a cost efficient, industry standard platform with enhanced system redundancy and no single point of failure.

Consolidate your data centre on HX5 and increase utilisation, simplify systems management and reduce operating costs. The HX5 delivers the most memory per core compared to any server in its class, enabling more and larger virtual machines per server. Reduce your software license costs by expanding memory capacity with MAX5 without purchasing additional processors. And with virtual fabric I/O support, you get maximum I/O throughput and flexibility.
