Description
Network Adapter Features and Capabilities
The 708931-B21 HPE Proliant Bl465c G8 Blade Server is a high-performance server designed for use in data centers, cloud computing environments, and virtualization deployments. It is equipped with advanced features and capabilities that make it an ideal choice for organizations that require high-speed processing, reliable storage, and efficient networking.
One of the most important features of this server is its network adapter, which provides advanced networking capabilities and connectivity options. The server is equipped with an HPE Flex Fabric 10GB 2-Port 554flb network adapter that supports high-speed networking protocols and provides advanced features such as load balancing, virtualization, and quality of service (QoS) controls.
The HPE Flex Fabric 10GB 2-Port 554flb network adapter is designed to provide high-speed connectivity to the server and enable it to communicate with other servers and network devices efficiently. The network adapter is based on industry-standard technologies and supports both Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols, which provides the server with a wide range of connectivity options.
The network adapter features two 10Gb Ethernet ports, which can be configured for LAN or SAN connectivity. These ports support various protocols, including IEEE 802.3ad (Link Aggregation Control Protocol), VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network), and Jumbo Frames, which enable the server to transfer large amounts of data quickly and efficiently. The adapter also supports advanced features such as RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access), which allows the server to access remote memory without using the CPU, and TCP/IP offloading, which reduces the server’s CPU utilization and improves network performance.
The HPE Proliant Bl465c G8 Blade Server also features an HPE P220i Controller with 512MB FBWC RAID 0,1. This controller provides advanced storage capabilities and supports RAID 0 and RAID 1 configurations, which enable the server to store and protect data efficiently. The controller supports both SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) drives, providing the server with a wide range of storage options.
The HPE P220i Controller also features a 512MB Flash Backed Write Cache (FBWC), which improves the server’s performance and reliability by providing a fast, non-volatile cache for write operations. This feature helps to prevent data loss or corruption in the event of a power outage or other system failure.
Operating System Compatibility and Certification
The HPE Proliant Bl465c G8 blade server is compatible with a variety of operating systems, making it a versatile choice for businesses with varying IT needs. The server is certified for use with a number of popular operating systems, ensuring reliable and optimized performance.
One of the main operating systems certified for use with the HPE Proliant Bl465c G8 is Microsoft Windows Server. The server supports a range of Windows Server versions, including Windows Server 2008, 2012, and 2016. It is also certified for use with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) operating system, including versions 5, 6, and 7. Additionally, the server is certified for use with the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), including versions 11 and 12.
Other operating systems certified for use with the HPE Proliant Bl465c G8 include Oracle Linux, VMware, Citrix XenServer, and Microsoft Hyper-V. These certifications ensure that businesses can use the server with their preferred operating system and that the server will be able to deliver optimal performance and compatibility.
In addition to these certifications, the HPE Proliant Bl465c G8 also supports a variety of virtualization technologies, including VMware ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V. These technologies allow businesses to consolidate their IT resources and reduce their hardware footprint while maintaining the performance and reliability of their IT infrastructure.
Redundant Power Supplies and Energy Efficiency
The HPE Proliant Bl465c G8 blade server is designed for high reliability and uptime, which is reflected in its redundant power supply design. The server is equipped with two hot-pluggable power supplies, each with a maximum power rating of 1200 watts. This provides redundant power to the server, ensuring that it remains operational even if one power supply fails. In addition, the power supplies are designed for high efficiency, which helps to reduce overall power consumption and minimize operating costs.
The HPE Proliant Bl465c G8 also features a number of energy-efficient technologies designed to minimize power consumption and reduce the server’s environmental impact. One of these technologies is HPE’s Intelligent Power Discovery, which helps to optimize power usage by dynamically mapping server power requirements and allocating power resources accordingly. This helps to ensure that the server is using only the power it needs, without wasting energy.
Another energy-efficient technology included with the HPE Proliant Bl465c G8 is HPE’s Sea of Sensors. This technology uses a network of sensors distributed throughout the server to monitor temperature, airflow, and other environmental factors. This allows the server to dynamically adjust its cooling system to maintain optimal operating temperatures while minimizing power consumption.
