Industry News Desk Virtualization: Hitachi America Fields Its Second Blade Server
Smaller, lighter, denser and less power-hungry than its IBM and HP rivals
Apr. 25, 2007 04:45 PM
The 6U Xeon quad and dual-core-based BladeSymphony 320 has 10 slots and maxs out at 80 cores per chassis, 560 cores per rack. It's directed at mid-market companies and enterprise branch offices and will run Windows and Red Hat; Hitachi has seen little demand for Novell. Entry-level pricing starts at under $10k. Five months ago Hitachi introduced the bigger Xeon- and Itanium-based BladeSymphony 1000. Both machines use the same management software. Hitachi claims to be reinventing the blade server market, investing its widgets with mainframe-style features including N+M high availability and cascading failover plus hot-swap blades, power supplies and components. The new blade server offers a 100V power option; no special wiring or cabling is required. It is supposed to required as much as 60% less real estates than comparable models.
