2. BladeCenter Chassis IBM s blade architecture offers five choices of compatible and interoperable chassis in which to use various blade servers Each chassis serves different customer needs The new BladeCenter S is a small entry level chassis designed for office environments The original BladeCenter E chassis offers maximum density great flexibility and a wide variety of expansion options at an entry level price The next generation BladeCenter H chassis offers all of BladeCenter s capabilities and adds new high performance features If you need a ruggedized chassis for example government military or telecom BladeCenter T offers special features optimized for those environments HS22 is not supported in the BladeCenter T The next generation BladeCenter HT is a high performance ruggedized telecommunications platform There is a high degree of interchangeability and compatibility of features among the chassis Any or all of these chassis can be installed in a rack along with other rack optimized equipment See the separate BladeCenter Chassis Sales Guide for details Hot Swap Redundant Components System availability is maximized through the extensive use of hot swap and redundant components both in the blade server and in the various BladeCenter chassis including e Redundant memory protection with Chipkill error correction and memory mirroring or memory sparing enabled Hot swap redundant hard disk drives and solid state driv

4. a spare for the other two channels ChO and Ch1 This means that unlike mirroring where one third of the memory is reserved for redundancy and one third is unused with sparing only one third is reserved leaving two thirds 8 DIMMs available as usable memory Note Although DIMMs within a channel do not have to be identical the DIMMs in each of the three channels must be identical to the other channels regarding capacity and organization In other words if the DIMMs in ChO are 2GB 2Rx4 and 8GB 1Rx8 respectively all 1 35V then the DIMMs in Ch1 and CH2 must also be 2GB 2Rx4 and 8GB 1Rx8 all 1 35V in that order DDR3 memory is available in 1GB 2GB 4GB 8GB and 16GB DIMMs DIMMs are installed individually not in pairs Integrated Virtualization All models of the x3550 M3 support a USB 2 0 Flash Key installed preloaded with VMware vSphere Hypervisor formerly ESXi Rather than management through a Service Console based on a Linux operating system vSphere Hypervisor relies on aggregate management tools including VirtualCenter the Remote Command Line interface and the introduction of CIM for standards based and agentless hardware monitoring vSphere Hypervisor includes all the performance scalability and compatibility features of a hypervisor installed on disk including full VMFS support across FC SAN iSCSI SAN and NAS and 4 way VSMP Because it runs from flash memory it s extremely fast and ideal for diskless configur
5. a zero gigabyte HDD footprint In other words no mechanical HDD to fail Optional solid state drives SDDs use only 2W of energy per drive vs 7 10W for 2 5 inch HDDs This is as much as 8096 less energy than a HDD would use with a corresponding reduction in heat output Low voltage 1 35V memory draws up to 19 less power than 1 5V DIMMs e Selected HS22 blade servers are planned for NEBSS ETSI compliance and feature long life availability These blades are ideal for telecom or Next Generation Network NGN applications such as IPTV IP Multimedia Subsystem IMS and security The extremely high degree of integration in the various BladeCenter chassis reduces the need for server components replacing numerous fans KVM and Ethernet cables power supplies external switches and other components with fewer shared hot swap redundant components in the BladeCenter chassis itself This integration also can greatly reduce the amount of power consumed and heat produced relative to an equivalent number of 1U servers This can significantly reduce a data center power bill The reduced datacenter footprint can also save on infrastructure cost The midplanes used in all chassis provide high speed blade to blade blade to switch module and module to module communications internally as well as externally The midplanes used in the BladeCenter H and BladeCenter HT chassis provide four 10Gb data channels to each blade and supports high speed swit
