The HP ProLiant BL495c G6 server blade, part number 539807-B21, is a robust enterprise solution designed for virtualisation environments. At its core, the server is powered by an AMD Opteron 2427 processor, running at 2.2 GHz. This six-core processor ensures reliable and multi-threaded performance, ideal for handling demanding workloads within dense server environments. The server, being a half-height blade, is built to fit within compatible HP BladeSystem enclosures, specifically the HP BladeSystem c7000 and c3000. With a focus on maximum I/O performance, the BL495c G6 features integrated dual NC532i 10GbE Ethernet adapters, allowing for high-speed connectivity and improved data throughput.
The ProLiant BL495c G6 comes without a pre-installed hard drive, providing flexibility for users to configure the blade with their desired storage. It supports up to 128 GB of DDR2 SDRAM memory across 16 DIMM slots, making it capable of handling virtualised environments with large memory requirements. Expansion is further supported via the dual mezzanine slots, which allow the addition of further networking or fibre channel interfaces based on the specific infrastructure needs.
With regard to power efficiency, the BL495c G6 benefits from Dynamic Power Capping technology, enabling users to allocate resources more effectively and reduce overall data centre power usage. It also supports Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2) for remote server management, ensuring quick access for maintenance and monitoring.
Despite being marked as end of life (EOL) and discontinued, the HP ProLiant BL495c G6 continues to be utilised today in certain legacy systems, especially due to its reliable performance in virtualisation-friendly environments.
