Redefines "Fully Loaded"
BladeSymphony 320 packs more power into a smaller space than any comparable solution: up to 70 two-way, quad-core servers in a single standard 42U rack - that's up to 560 cores.
BladeSymphony 320 is the only blade system with a 110-volt power option, so it plugs right in to standard power outlets with no special equipment or adapters. It is also the lightest 6U system on the market.
And BladeSymphony 320 keeps you up and running 24/7 with built-in reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features. From hot-swap components and multi-configurable power supplies to Hitachi's unique N+M cold stand-by feature for automated system failover.
The Hitachi BladeSymphony 320 blade server, based on quad-core and six-core Intel Xeon 5600 Series processors, is a power-packed yet energy-efficient consolidation platform for remote offices, branch offices, or the edge of the enterprise data center.
With a 110-volt power option and an extremely expandable yet lightweight chassis, it's fast and simple to deploy in tight spaces. And this 6U system packs up to 840 cores into a standard 42U rack—a space savings of 60% compared to rack servers. Consolidation just doesn't get any simpler. Or more efficient.
The system also includes two on-board, hot-swappable Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) drives, providing high performance and application flexibility; four Gigabit Ethernet ports per blade for high network throughput; and up to 96GB of fully buffered memory.
A wide range of optional capabilities and components are available, such as a LAN pass-through option, Fiber Channel ports and switch modules for connecting to a SAN, and remote IP KVM. These components are all built in, so there's less cabling, less complexity, and less work required of administrators. And all of the modules are made by Hitachi, so there are no space-consuming external devices to purchase and configure, no compatibility issues to deal with, and no worries about integrating with the management system.
So whether you're looking to consolidate workloads in your enterprise data center or at your branch and remote offices, BladeSymphony 320 gives you something you never expected: unoccupied data center floor tiles. We're pushing consolidation right to the edge.
