The HP ProLiant BL420c Gen8, part number 640996-B21, is a server blade designed for enterprise environments. This model comes without a pre-installed CPU, allowing users to choose their preferred processor configuration. The device supports Intel's Xeon E5-2400 series processors, offering high flexibility in terms of processing power for different workloads.
The blade server features 16 DIMM slots, providing ample capacity for memory expansion, which is crucial for handling applications that require substantial memory resources. With the ability to support both DDR3 memory types with capacities of up to 256GB, this server is designed to handle demanding tasks.
Storage needs are addressed by two hot-pluggable drive bays, allowing users to add hard drives or SSDs as per their requirements. Redundant storage configurations, including RAID support, are available to ensure data integrity and protection. Additionally, the device includes integrated Smart Array P220i with optional FBWC support, further enhancing data handling and security capabilities.
Network connectivity is strong with four 1Gb Ethernet ports that ensure high-speed networking for each blade. Users can expand the network capabilities by opting for FlexFabric or Flex-10 modules, which extend the network options and improve performance.
To maximise performance and power efficiency, several HP features come pre-integrated into the design, including HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) management, which offers a suite of remote management tools.
This blade server is best suited for businesses and enterprises that require a highly scalable, high-performance blade option with flexibility for custom configurations based on their specific workload needs.
