Product Description
The PRIMERGY BX2560 M1 is the new general- purpose, dual-socket server blade for the PRIMERGY BX400 and BX900 blade chassis. Designed for demanding workloads, such as mail and messaging services, collaboration, enterprise applications and virtual environments, the BX2560 M1 server blade offers an ideal combination of density, efficiency and scalability. It provides increased performance and efficiency using the latest Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3 processor product family with up to 18 cores and 45 MB smart cache per CPU. The new generation of DDR4 memory delivers greater reliability for enterprise-level workloads and provides higher performance with lower power requirements than previous memory technologies. The embedded dual-channel 10 Gbit/s universal converged network adapter featuring 8 physical functions per channel, usable for Ethernet, iSCSI, FCoE and RDMA over Converged Ethernet, allows allocating the network throughput to match individual application needs. The BX2560 M1 server blade offers two additional PCIe 3.0 I/O expansion slots that supports the use of the highest performing mezzanine cards, now and into the future, as well as two hot-plug 2.5-inch SAS, SATA or SSD drives.
