| | PRIMERGY BX600 | |
Performance meets flexibility |  |
| Blade servers provide high performance and maximum redundancy with minimum rack space, power consumption and cabling effort. The Blade Ecosystem BX600 is designed for a broad range of application areas, from Web server or terminal server farms with lower performance demands all the way to high performance database or application server configurations. |
The PRIMERGY BX600 blade server is a highly scalable 19-inch rack server system that occupies 7 height units (U) and has a modular infrastructure for accommodating highly compact server units (server blades).
Due to their high performance PRIMERGY BX600 blade servers are qualified for sophisticated tasks in datacenter environments, such as database or application servers, web servers or communication servers with heavy load profiles.
The BX600 offers performance today and scalability for tomorrow with 64-bit processor-technology by Intel and AMD and a chassis that supports future technologies.
The broad range of processor configurations and flexible scaling options (Dual-, Quad- or Octo-socket, Dual-Core) enable the PRIMERGY BX600 to meet nearly all requirements in typical datacenter applications. |

| Key features | Benefits |
Up to 10 hot-plug Dual-socket Server blades per chassis, each with 1 - 2 64-Bit Intel® Xeon® or with 1 - 2 AMD Opteron DP/MP 64-Bit processors
Up to 5 hot-plug Quad-socket Server blades per chassis, each with 2 - 4 Xeon® MP processors or with 2 - 4 AMD Opteron MP 64-Bit processors
Up to 2 hot-plug Octo-socket Server blades per chassis, each with 4 - 8 AMD Opteron® MP 64-Bit processors.
| All server blades may be mixed in one chassis, protecting investments and offering high growth rates. The flexibility of mix and match of different blade versions enable the Blade Ecosystem to fulfill mainly all tasks in the data center.
|
| Scaling option to build a Quad- or Octo-socket server out of 2 Dual- or Quad-socket blades, based on Opteron 8xx MP CPU, using AMD’s “Direct Connect” technology with standard chipsets. | Mono-Core and Dual-Core AMD Opteron processors and scalability from Dual to Quad- or Octo- socket blade (up to 16-cores) for all performance needs. |
Redundant Switch blades and / or Pass-Thru blades and two redundant management blades.
| Highly flexible network integration and reliable management. Ensured trouble-free operation and minimum server downtimes.
|
| The “Advanced-KVM” switch realizes remote (over IP) maintenance (graphical console redirection, remote USB storage emulation) from a single point of control for all blades. | A set of powerful server management tools decreases administration and maintenance efforts and the single point of administration reduces external equipment costs. |
Between 2 and 8 Gigabit Ethernet channels per server blade, optional extendable by 1 - 4x 2-channel GbE daughter cards and additional PCI riser option.
Optional 2 (Dual server blade) or 2 x 2 (Quad- / Octo-socket server blade) FibreChannel channels.
Optional PCI slot module (instead of a hard disk) for LAN controller on Dual- / Quad-socket server blades.
| Efficient and stable communication paths enhance reliability. Less space and power consumption compared to conventional rack server farms reduce operational costs. |
| Tried-and-tested, easy-to-use server management software (locally/remotely). | Careless and convenient operation. Solutions for automated operating system deployment and load balancing adapt the server configurations to the current load profile, giving optimized response times. Many solution templates for blades are available e.g. terminal services, virtualization, SAP, SAN-Boot …
