Product Description
The PRIMERGY BX960 S1 server blade enables the
use of the next generation Intel® Xeon® processors
with up to 8 cores à two threads. In conjunction with
the QuickPath architecture and the on-chip memory
controllers, these processors enable a greatly
increased Server Blade performance in contrast
to the predecessor generations. Four of these
processors can be used in the BX960 S1 Server
Blade, together with up to 32 DDR3 RDIMM main
memory modules and two Dual-Channel Intel 82599
based 10 Gigabit Ethernet controllers onboard. Up to
two SSD data media and four Mezzanine I/O cards
complete this full-height server blade (single width).
The perfect alignment of processor performance,
main memory capacity and I/O bandwidth makes
the PRIMERGY BX960 S1 ideal, on the one hand as
a consolidation platform with virtualization solutions
using any market-relevant hypervisor and, on the
other hand, as a server which efficiently and reliably
meets the high-level requirements for database
management systems for medium and large-sized
databases.
