The Centra Blade Server
provides the performance, dependability, and manageability essential
for high-density enterprise-class applications.
The
Centra Blade Server Chassis integrates complex components and
eliminates cables to simplify data center management. You get
powerful and flexible blade computing solutions that help contain
data center costs while enabling business agility.
The Centra Server Compute Blade
is a high-performance blade server with memory and I/O expansion
options for small- and medium-sized businesses. Addressing both
growing performance demands and the increased need for process
efficiencies, the Centra Server Compute Blade canhelp organizations
enjoy improved ROI while extending IT resources through improved
performance, performance per watt, deployment flexibility, and
simplified management.
Based on the Dual-Core Intel®
Xeon® processor 5100 series, the Centra Server Compute Blade
increases resource utilization by collapsing rack systems into
single-blade systems, optimizing rack space, significantly reducing
cabling, and lowering total cost of ownership.
