Introducing the IBM BladeCenter HS21 XM

Deliver leadership performance and efficiency for most applications

– Double the memory of the HS21 30mm blade– Integer, Floating Point, many financial specific applications will benefit greatly– A new core architecture, dual core processors, and fully buffered DIMMs all lead to the gains

Supports new solid state Modular Flash Devices

– Starting with the IBM 4GB Modular Flash Drive, solid state drives are optimized for durability, reliability and power efficiency

– RAID arrays can potentially be simplified– Flash drives virtually eliminate yet another potential point of failure inside the BladeCenter

HS21 XM is designed to extract the most from multi-core processors

– More memory, NICs, I/O, designed for diskless operation and low power– 64-bit matched with up to 32GB of memory support even the most demanding solutions

10Gb enabled for BladeCenter H

– Can support both PCI-X and PCI-Express I/O Cards– Supports all the traditional I/O cards in the BladeCenter family
