The BladeSymphony product family has three powerful, flexible, reliable models available:

BladeSymphony 2000 with Virtage

Taking enterprise-class blade computing to new extremes.

The latest entry in the BladeSymphony line leapfrogs the capabilities of competitive UNIX servers and blade systems from other vendors. This 10U, 8-blade system handles the most I/O-intensive workloads with ease, and features a balanced system architecture that combines massive throughput, embedded virtualization for consolidating systems and workloads, and unprecedented configuration flexibility.

• Virtage with hardware virtualization (LPARs), along with Microsoft® Hyper-V™ and VMware®—or all three in a single system • Dual-socket blades powered by Intel® Xeon 5500 Series processors • Support for up to 144GB memory and 162 Gbps of I/O throughput on each blade • New high-performance, high-bandwidth, hybrid I/O subsystem leveraging both industry-standard PCIe Gen2.0 slots and integrated switches

BladeSymphony 1000 with Virtage

The first true enterprise-class blade server.

Consolidate mission-critical applications at the database tier, the application tier, the network edge-or all three-with this workhorse compute engine. And take advantage of the industry's first embedded virtualization solution, Virtage. Cut the cost, risk, and complexity of your IT infrastructure without compromise.
