Each server has two or four on-board NIC's and two additional Mezzanine card-slots for additional I/O options: 1 Gb or 10 Gb Ethernet cards, Fibre Channel HBA's or InfiniBand slots. Apart from USB connectors a blade-server doesn't offer direct connections: all I/O goes via the midplane of the enclosure.
Further this architecture provided the capabilities to inventory modules installed in the system remotely in each system chassis without the blade servers operating. This architecture enabled the ability to provision (power up, install operating systems and applications software) (e.g. a Web Servers) remotely from a Network Operations Center (NOC).
The MXL provides 32 internal 10 Gbit/s links (2 ports per blade in the chassis), two QSFP+ 40 Gbit/s ports and two empty expansion slots allowing a maximum of 4 additional QSFP+ 40 Gbit/s ports or 8 10 Gbit/s ports. Each QSFP+ port can be used for a 40 Gbit/s switch to switch (stack) uplink or, with a break-out cable, 4 x 10 Gbit/s links.
The Intel Modular Server System consists of an Intel Modular Server Chassis, up to six diskless Compute Blades, an integrated storage area network (SAN), and three to five Service Modules. The system was formally announced in January 2008. [1] The server is aimed at small to medium businesses with "50 to 300 employees". [2] [3]
BladeSystem is a line of blade server machines from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (Formerly Hewlett-Packard) that was introduced in June 2006. [1] [2] [3]The BladeSystem forms part of the HP ConvergedSystem platform, which use a common converged infrastructure architecture for server, storage, and networking products. [4]
Targets mid-sized customers by offering storage inside the BladeCenter chassis, so no separate external storage needs to be purchased. It can also use 120 V power in the North American market, so it can be used outside the datacenter. When running at 120 V, the total chassis capacity is reduced. Features: [10] 6 blade slots in 7U
Sun Blade is a line of blade server computer systems sold by Sun Microsystems from 2006 onwards. In June 2006, Sun announced the AMD Opteron-based Sun Blade 8000 modular blade server system. The Sun Blade 8000 chassis can hold up to 10 Sun Blade X8420 or X8440 modules. In July 2007, Sun launched the Sun Blade 6000 Modular System.
A chassis management controller (CMC) is an embedded system management hardware and software solution to manage multiple servers, networking, and storage. [1]A CMC can provide a secure browser-based interface that enables an IT system administrator to take inventory, perform configuration and monitoring tasks, remotely power on/off blade servers, and enable alerts for events on servers or ...
