Hitachi BladeSymphony
ViON presents the Hitachi BladeSymphony 2000 family of blade servers. BladeSymphony 2000 elegantly integrates network, power and server resources into a single, space-efficient, flexible solution, and also offers the very latest in power-saving features and capabilities. With sophisticated, built-in reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features, it reduces the risk of unplanned downtime for mission-critical applications.
No system on the market today is more flexible than BladeSymphony. The BladeSymphony Hybrid I/O subsystem leverages both industry-standard PCIe slots and integrated switch modules, allowing configurations to share a common switching infrastructure and unique I/O interfaces per blade simultaneously, expanding workload options.
BladeSymphony 2000 with Virtage combines all of the benefits of virtualization with all of the advantages of the blade server format. These benefits are simplicity, flexibility, high compute density and power efficiency; therefore, customers can consolidate more resources, extend the benefits of virtualization solutions (whether Virtage, VMware, Microsoft Hyper-VTM or any mixture of all three) to more areas of the enterprise data center and cut costs without sacrificing performance.
By powering the system’s blade modules with Intel Xeon Processors (5500 or 7500 Series) and radically increasing the I/O performance and memory capacity, Hitachi has made it possible to use virtualization to consolidate application and database servers for backbone systems – areas where effective consolidation was difficult in the past. By removing performance and I/O bottlenecks, BladeSymphony 2000 opens up new opportunities for increasing efficiency and utilization rates and reduces the administrative burden in the data center.
The BladeSymphony 2000 also offers the very latest in power-saving features and capabilities. With an industry-leading 92% efficiency, the power supplies have been awarded the “80 Plus” Gold certificate and conform to the Climate Savers Computing Initiative Gold standard.
BladeSymphony 2000 is a true enterprise-class blade server, and it is important to understand exactly what that term means. It is “enterprise-class” in terms of performance, scalability, reliability and configuration flexibility.
