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.
