On your path towards convergence, you need to make sure your IT infrastructure can support mixed workloads and emerging cloud-based applications. Your IT infrastructure must have the reliability and performance needed now, and the flexibility to grow as your workload requirements change.
Do more now with IBM BladeCenter HS23 and HS23E servers
These latest blade servers can help you gain insight and efficiency so you can build a dynamic infrastructure—one with flexibility, energy efficiency and density. Both blade servers are supported on all current and previous IBM® BladeCenter® chassis, and like every BladeCenter system, they support superior reliability features and innovative management tools that help your critical applications to stay up and running longer.
BladeCenter HS23
The BladeCenter HS23 is optimized for performance and highly scalable I/O. The combination of integrated 10 GbE Virtual Fabric, 16 memory slots, and the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family make the HS23 blade server ideal for your virtualization and cloud computing workloads.
The BladeCenter HS23 features:
- Integrated 10 GbE Virtual Fabric for enhancing virtual environments
- Support for up to 256 GB for more or larger VMs per server
- Choice of hot-swap drives so you can match your specific capacity, performance, cost and reliability needs
- Scalable memory for computing-intensive enterprise applications and virtualized environments
- The Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family that supports up to 8-cores for higher processing performance over prior generation quad- and dual-core systems processors
BladeCenter HS23E
Get performance for value with the BladeCenter HS23E blade server. Optimized for energy efficiency and flexibility, the HS23E supports low-voltage processor and memory options for minimizing energy usage, and two ports of integrated 1 GbE (scalable to 10 GbE) for networking scalability.
The BladeCenter HS23E features:
- Choice of hot-swap drives and hardware or software RAID so you can match your specific capacity, performance, cost and reliability needs
- Low-voltage processor and memory options to minimize energy usage without sacrificing performance
- Scalable memory for computing-intensive enterprise applications and virtualized environments
- The Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 product family that supports up to 8-cores for higher processing performance over prior generation single- and dual-core systems processors
The IBM BladeCenter portfolio
Blade servers provide an ideal platform for network and server virtualization and consolidation. With their modular design optimized for efficient use of physical space and energy, blade servers can support extraordinary performance while reducing your ongoing costs. The BladeCenter HS23 and HS23E servers are just two systems in the portfolio of IBM blade servers that support a wide range of workloads on Microsoft Windows, Linux and UNIX operating systems. So you get OS choice and the ability to consolidate many workloads into one system, while offering extraordinary energy efficiency, floor space savings and ease of management. And with IBM BladeCenter server technology, you can greatly increase server density versus rack servers, simplify cabling, lower power and cooling costs, ease server expansion, and simplify datacenter management.
