BF400 S2 |  |
Virtualized server pool for dynamic infrastructures |
| The BladeFrame 400 consists of a cabinet containing 24 processing resources, redundant central controllers, redundant integrated switches, redundant high-speed interconnects and BladeFrames PAN Manager software. |
The BladeFrame combines the utility of stateless servers with powerful software that virtualizes processing, storage and networking resources into a "computing fabric."
The PAN Manager software provides a single point for configuring, managing and monitoring both the physical and virtual resources in the Processing Area Network. Now, businesses can provision systems and allocate resources in minutes not days, weeks or months to optimize mission-critical applications in real time. PRIMERGY BladeFrame 400 S2 makes it possible to map a broad palette of the market’s leading customer applications.
PRIMERGY BladeFrame BF200 and BF400 are identical in construction to the respective Egenera servers Bladeframe ES and EX and therefore are 100% compatible to each other. |
