Dual Socket Server Blade<br>Virtualization fitness at all levels, be it compute power or I/O throughput<br><br>The PRIMERGY BX924 S2 server blade is operated by two CPUs of the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 and 5600 series, each with up to 6 cores. Chipset and CPU provide comprehensive, hardware based virtualization support, being supplemented by additional functions of the dual port 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller, integrated on motherboard. Up to 18 DIMM modules in the system allow for a scalability that was never before<br>possible, playing into the hands of consolidation demands in the datacenter.

A large amount of applications may be controlled by Hypervisor based solutions from VMware, Microsoft, RedHat, Suse or Citrix.<br>Although servers are being booted more and more via network, be it with iSCSI protocols and Ethernet, or SAN topologies and Fibre Channel, this system is enabled for local boot, too. This may optionally be realized by use of solid state drives that combine outstan
