BladeCenter HT Chassis
BladeCenter HT is the right choice for the ultimate combination of high performance and durability in telco, military, medical, government and industrial deployments.
IBM BladeCenter HT tightly integrates servers, storage, networking, input/output (I/O) and applications, allowing clients to build robust and flexible IT infrastructures using common building blocks.
Flexible modular technology integrates Intel ® Xeon ®, AMD Opteron and IBM POWER processor-based blade servers supporting a wide range of operating systems.
Take command of your Central Office or IT infrastructure with powerful IBM Cool Blue technology, a portfolio of products and tools to help customers plan, manage and control power and cooling – helping to build greener networks and infrastructures.
BladeCenter Open Fabric is a highly adaptable portfolio of products and tools that delivers a flexible, open, connected infrastructure to help optimise application performance.
A powerful set of management tools help simplify the IT environment. BladeCenter provides tools that are open, easy and seamlessly integrated, allowing you to focus on your business, not your networking or IT.
Dramatically increase high-speed connectivity and throughput with multi-terabit networking (more than 1.2 Terabits per second (Tbps) internal chassis throughput on backplane) and 40 Gigabits per second (Gbps) aggregate internal throughput per blade server.
Improve network flexibility and interoperability bridging new services to control gateways supporting SS7, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), legacy PSTN, wide area network (WAN) devices and network interfaces with special purpose telecommunications blades.
Efficiently consolidate network resources while delivering high scalability for next-generation network (NGN) applications such as IPTV, Video On Demand (VoD) and IMS, with higher port concentrations and 10 Gbps Ethernet network bandwidth.
Certified testing by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) of the BladeCenter HT chassis has been completed. The BladeCenter HT chassis is covered under a UL-certified NEBS Level 3/ETSI test report, which is available for review upon request.
BladeCenter HT helps reduce network infrastructure costs while increasing network infrastructure performance and flexibility – making it the ideal platform to run your NGN end-to-end infrastructure applications.
