Product Description
The IBM® BladeCenter® HX5 server is a blade server based on the fifth generation of the Enterprise X-Architecture®, delivering innovation with enhanced scalability, reliability, and availability features to enable optimal performance for databases, enterprise applications, and virtualized environments. The IBM BladeCenter HX5 supports up to two of the latest generation Intel processors. Two HX5 servers can be connected together for a high-performance single image with four processors and up to 512 GB of RAM in a blade form factor. For applications that need to maximize available memory but that do not need four processors, a single HX5 server can be attached to a MAX5 memory expansion blade to form a single image with two processors and up to 640 GB of RAM. This level of processing and memory capacity is ideal for large-scale database or virtualization requirements.
