The HP ProLiant BL660c Gen8 Performance Blade Server, with part number 679116-B21, is a high-performance server designed for enterprise applications requiring robust computing power and data processing efficiency. The server is powered by the Intel Xeon E5-4617 processor, which operates at a clock speed of 2.9 GHz, providing swift and effective performance for demanding workloads. The Xeon E5-4617 offers significant multiprocessing capabilities, making it suitable for virtualisation, database management, and other resource-intensive applications.
This model is part of HP's ProLiant Gen8 series, known for its reliable scalability, advanced power management features, and strong hardware architecture support. As a blade server, it is designed to fit within the HP BladeSystem c7000 or c3000 enclosures, allowing businesses to efficiently manage several servers in a compact form factor. The server’s structure enables shared power and cooling resources, which reduces total power consumption while maximising operational efficiency.
The BL660c Gen8 is also part of HP’s server range that incorporates their Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) management system, a critical feature for remote server access, monitoring, and troubleshooting. This remote management capability is essential for maintaining servers in enterprise environments and ensuring uptime during technical faults. The system architecture is further enhanced by SmartMemory technology, which prevents data loss and increases memory performance.
Though the model listed comes with no specific memory or storage, its modular design allows for flexible expansion, and it supports a wide range of storage options. Its focus on reliability, combined with the power of up to four processors and high memory capacity, makes it ideal for enterprise-level computing needs, such as large virtualisation and database environments.
