Description
Form Factor and Blade Server Design
The HPE ProLiant BL460c G9 base model server (part number 727029-B21) is a blade server that is designed to fit into a blade enclosure, which allows for the consolidation of multiple servers into a single enclosure. The server is designed to fit into the HPE BladeSystem c3000 and c7000 enclosures, which provide additional features such as power, cooling, and management.
The server itself is a half-height blade server, which means that it takes up only half of the available space in the enclosure. This allows for more servers to be housed in the same enclosure, which can help to reduce the overall footprint of the data center. The server is also designed to be hot-swappable, which means that it can be removed and replaced while the enclosure is still running, without any interruption to the other servers in the enclosure.
In terms of design, the server features a sleek and modern look, with a black and silver color scheme. The front of the server includes access to the server’s components, including the hard drives and memory modules. The server also includes LED indicators to provide status information and alerts for various components.
Server Management and Remote Access
The HPE ProLiant BL460c G9 base model server (part number 727029-B21) includes a variety of server management and remote access features that make it easy to manage and monitor the server from anywhere.
One of the key features of the server is its integrated Lights-Out management (iLO) functionality, which provides remote access to the server’s hardware and operating system, even if the server is powered off. With iLO, administrators can access the server’s console, install operating systems, monitor system health, and perform remote management tasks such as power cycling and firmware updates.
In addition to iLO, the server also includes HPE’s Integrated Management module (iSM), which provides a unified management interface for HPE servers, storage, and networking devices. This allows administrators to manage multiple servers and devices from a single interface, streamlining management tasks and reducing complexity.
The server also includes support for various remote access protocols, including remote desktop protocol (RDP) and virtual network computing (VNC), which allow administrators to access the server’s desktop remotely for troubleshooting and maintenance tasks.
Operating System Support
The HPE ProLiant BL460c G9 base model server (part number 727029-B21) supports a wide range of operating systems, including:
- Microsoft Windows Server 2012 and 2016
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 and 7
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 11 and 12
- VMware ESXi 5.1, 5.5, and 6.0
- Citrix XenServer 6.5 and 7.0
- Oracle Linux 6 and 7
In addition to these operating systems, the server also supports a variety of hypervisors, including VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V. This makes it a versatile platform for virtualization and cloud computing workloads.
HPE also provides a suite of server management tools and utilities, including the HPE Smart Update Manager (SUM), which simplifies the process of deploying and updating drivers, firmware, and software across multiple servers. This helps ensure that the server is running the latest and most secure software, reducing the risk of downtime and security breaches.
Power and Cooling Efficiency
The HPE ProLiant BL460c G9 server is designed to deliver high power and cooling efficiency, reducing operational costs for businesses. The server features advanced power management technologies that help reduce energy consumption while maintaining high levels of performance. These technologies include dynamic power capping, power regulator, and Intelligent System Tuning.
Dynamic power capping allows administrators to set power limits for individual servers or groups of servers, ensuring that power consumption stays within predefined limits. Power regulator, on the other hand, dynamically adjusts the voltage regulator to optimize power delivery and improve efficiency.
Intelligent System Tuning is another feature that optimizes server performance while reducing energy consumption. It does this by analyzing workload patterns and adjusting system settings accordingly. For example, if the workload is CPU-intensive, the server will adjust the processor frequency and voltage to optimize performance and power consumption.
In terms of cooling, the server has a high-efficiency design that minimizes energy consumption while ensuring optimal cooling. It features advanced cooling technologies such as hot-plug redundant fans and a liquid cooling option that further improves cooling efficiency.
Overall, the power and cooling efficiency of the HPE ProLiant BL460c G9 server make it an ideal choice for businesses looking to reduce their operational costs and carbon footprint.
