The BL680c G7 provides maximum performance and unparalleled scale-up expansion never before seen in a 4P x86 blade. This creates an extremely powerful database engine while handling very demanding workloads and making traditional 4P rack to blade transition a true reality. Two models are now available, one optimized for the on E7-4800 series and the other for the 7500 series. Four 130W processors are supported with 64 RDIMM slots for 2.0TB (E7-4800 models) and 1.0TB (7500 models) of memory, 7 PCIe Gen2 I/O slots, and 6 10Gb FlexFabric CNA ports for standard Ethernet to advanced networking. By designing a balanced architecture, the server is a very unique 4P blade offering ensuring all subsystems are used effectively. Traditional 4P blades are often unbalanced, providing CPU performance and density at the expense of proportional memory and I/O bandwidth. These server often fail when faced with larger databases, higher-density virtualization and general data-intensive applications.

Never Before Seen Multiprocessor Scalability in a Blade Server
• World’s first 4P server blade to support a two terabytes of memory providing the ultimate database machine, ability to handle very large consolidation projects and a variety of data-demanding workloads

Six Embedded HP Virtual Connect 10Gb FlexFabric Adapters
• Six embedded NC553i 10Gb Converged Network Adapter ports deliver extensive bandwidth for network intensive applications with up to Up to 24 connections to network and storage without the need for add-in I/O mezzanine cards

Making Multiprocessor Server Rack to Blade Transition a True Reality
• Performance, memory, and I/O slot expandability equal to or greater than a typical 4P x86 rack server

Fully Balanced, Optimized Intel Xeon 4S Architecture
• With major advances in processor performance, applications are already memory and I/O bound, not processor. Yet, typical server blades are often unbalanced, providing processor performance and density at the expense of proportional memory capacity, I/O bandwidth, and storage.
