New IBM Blade Computers Speed Business Data up to Ten Times Faster
IBM today introduced powerful new blade computing systems that enable data to travel up to 10 times faster than previously possible across corporate networks.
The revolutionary new high-performance systems, called IBM BladeCenter H, increase the bandwidth of tiny blade computers, providing businesses up to 10 times the capacity to move data across their networks. The processing breakthrough, made possible by IBM Research, increases the internal capability of the new system by delivering more than 40 Gigabits (Gb) of I/O bandwidth to every blade server.
A blade is a thin computer system that can be pulled in and out of a specially designed chassis, similar to placing books into a shelf. The IBM chassis housing the blades is known as BladeCenter. IBM has the highest blade density of any major computer vendor, fitting 14 fully functioning blades in a chassis.
The BladeCenter H systems introduced today provide a new way to deliver blade technology, by collapsing servers, storage devices, networking infrastructure and security appliances into a single location in the datacenter. They can be used by businesses to run high-performance analytics software and data warehousing applications in industries including finance, retail, healthcare, life sciences and telecommunications.
