Eserver
BladeCenter chassis
The BladeCenter is a high-density blade solution that provides maximum performance,
availability, and manageability for application serving, storage flexibility, and long-life
investment protection.
HS40
HS40 is a 4-way blade server for high-performance enterprise applications requiring
four-processor SMP capability. The BladeCenter chassis supports up to seven 4-way
servers and is ideal for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and database applications.
HS20
The IBM efficient 2-way blade server design offers high density without sacrificing server
performance. Ideal for Domino®, Web server, Microsoft® Exchange, file and print,
application server, and so on.
JS20
JS20 is a 2-way blade server for applications requiring 64-bit computing. Ideal for
compute-intensive applications and transactional Web serving.
LS20
LS20 is a 2-way blade server running AMD Opteron processors. The LS20 delivers
density without sacrificing processor performance or availability. For applications that are
limited by memory performance, the LS20 might bring sizeable performance gains.
