Шасі HP BladeSystem c7000 (507014-B21)

A BladeSystem c7000 enclosure holds up to 16 server and/or storage blades plus redundant network and storage switches. It includes a shared, multi-terabit high-speed mid-plane for wire-once connectivity of server blades to network and shared storage. Power is delivered through a pooled power backplane that ensures the full capacity of the redundant hot-plug power supplies is available to all blades.

Each c7000 enclosure is built with the following functions:

• Up to 16 half-height and/or up to 8 full-height server blades and/or storage blades per enclosure.
• Up to 4 different interconnect fabrics (Ethernet, FC, IB, iSCSI, SAS, etc.) supported simultaneously within the enclosure.
• Choice of a single-phase, three-phase or a -48V DC power subsystem for flexibility in connecting to datacenter power.
• HP Thermal Logic technology for lower power consumption and airflow.
• Four (4) or Ten (10) Active Cool 200 fans as standard. For redundancy and improved power consumption and acoustics; additional Active Cool 200 Fan kits can be added for a maximum of 10 fans.
• Redundant hot-plug cooling, redundant hot-plug power supplies, redundant connections, redundant interconnect modules, optional redundant BladeSystem Onboard Administrator management modules.
• Lowest cost of ownership.
• Full AC redundancy - with no power zones.

An BladeSystem Onboard Administrator management module is built in to the enclosure with the following functions:

• Robust, multiple enclosure setup and control.
• Reports asset and inventory information for the devices in the enclosure.
• Reports thermal and power information, including real-time actual power usage per server and per enclosure.
• Front-mounted Insight Display for easy management within the datacenter.
• Integrated access to all server blade iLOs from a single cable.
• Provides integrated access to interconnect bay device management ports from the single BladeSystem Onboard Administrator cable.
• Single sign-on capability for all devices in the enclosure
• Role-based security locally and/or with LDAP directory services.
• Provides a wizard-based initial setup process for easy configuration.

A BladeSystem c7000 enclosure provides the following benefits:

• With local and remote hardware management integrated across the solution, one full enclosure can be managed as easily as one server.
• Scalable: Management and network interconnects extend scalability beyond a single enclosure, allowing resources to be pooled and shared across multiple enclosures.
• Investment protection: Accommodates multiple server and network designs in one enclosure.
• Lower costs per server, in comparison to rack-mounted servers
• Lower power consumption, in comparison to rack-mounted servers.
• Lower airflow requirements, in comparison to rack-mounted servers
