The HP ProLiant BL420c Gen8 with part number 668359-B21 is a server blade featuring an Intel Xeon E5-2403 processor. This model operates at a clock speed of 1.8 GHz, making it suitable for entry-level tasks within virtualised environments or for small to midrange business applications. The specific processor it is equipped with, the Xeon E5-2403, is a quad-core processor, providing reliable multitasking capabilities and balanced performance across various workloads. However, it does not come with Hyper-Threading or Turbo Boost capabilities due to its entry-level classification within the Xeon line.
The HP ProLiant BL420c Gen8 comes with support for HP's advanced Integrated Lights-Out (iLO 4) management engine, which aids administrators by providing remote access for managing the server. Another key feature to highlight is its support for DDR3 memory, which is very cost-efficient and adequate for handling typical data centre operations or hosting environments.
Following HP's ProLiant Gen8 series design philosophy, the BL420c Gen8 model features a modular and space-saving blade form factor, specifically optimised for blade enclosures like the HP BladeSystem c7000 or c3000. It integrates easily into these platforms to offer a compact yet powerful server solution, leveraging shared infrastructure components like power and cooling to improve efficiency. Additionally, the system provides FlexibleLOM technology, enabling custom choices in networking adaptors depending on the user’s specific needs.
However, it should be noted that this model does not have an integrated hard drive initially provided with the basic configuration, allowing the user the flexibility to choose compatible storage drives based on specific storage needs.
