Six Embedded HP Virtual Connect 10Gb FlexFabric Adapters

Six embedded NC553i 10Gb Converged Network Adapter ports deliver extensive bandwidth for network intensive applications with up to Up to 24 connections to network and storage without the need for add-in I/O mezzanine cards

Integrated Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and hardware-based iSCSI with iSCSI boot simplify management and lower infrastructure costs by converging LAN and SAN traffic over the same flexible connection

Ability to utilize the adapter high-end FlexFabric features or configure than as standard 1Gb or 10Gb Ethernet ports

Making Multiprocessor Server Rack to Blade Transition a True Reality

Performance, memory, and I/O slot expandability equal to or greater than a typical 4P x86 rack server

Reduce rack space up to 58%. Consolidate four standard 4P rack servers and eight high performance LAN/SAN edge switches (that can occupy up to 24U) into a single 10U c7000 enclosure.

Radically simplify system design and lower cost by eliminating all rack server to edge switch cables and decrease power cables to no more than six

The HP BladeSystem enclosures also eliminate individual server management cables, consolidating them into just one (or two for redundancy) even further simplifying system design

Fully Balanced, Optimized Intel Xeon 4S Architecture

With major advances in processor performance, applications are already memory and I/O bound, not processor. Yet, typical server blades are often unbalanced, providing processor performance and density at the expense of proportional memory capacity, I/O bandwidth, and storage.

The Intel Xeon E7-4800 processor family represent Intel’s greatest performance leap in history over the previous generation Intel Xeon 4-core 7400 series. Rather than provide a processor-heavy design, the BL680c G7 fully optimizes all the capabilities of the E7-4800 multiprocessor 4S architecture.

Each socket includes the maximum allowable two memory controllers that each have two Intel Scalable Memory Interface (SMI) buses. Each SMI connects to a memory buffer that supports four 16 GB DIMMs for a total of 16 DIMMs per processor socket (64 DIMMs or up to 2.0 TB of memory per server).

Each socket supports 130 watts allowing up to four maximum performing E7-4800 processors
