Description
With the half width HPE BL460c Gen8 server blade form factor, Administrators can add two physically separated servers instead of just one full-width blade server and still have the same number of processors. This is an excellent choice for data center applications with its well-balanced performance, scalability, and expandability features. This server blade is designed for the HPE BladeSystem c3000 and c7000 enclosures, which offer a shared infrastructure design and supports backwards and forward compatibility across multiple generations of blades. Cooling, power, and management are handled at the chassis level resulting in a lower cost per server with reduced cabling, power, and airflow requirements in comparison to individual rack mounted servers. With a blade enclosure, the management and network interconnects can pool and share resources across multiple enclosures and can split dual and quad port network connections between interconnects for increased throughput and redundancy.
Performance
Intel's C600 series chipset supports a maximum of two processors, either two Xeon E5-2600 or two Xeon E5-2600 v2 processor families. V2 processors support 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 cores each with speeds of up to 3.5GHz and offer a 24% increase in performance over the previous generation processors.
