The BL680c G7 provides maximum performance & unparalleled scale-up expansion never before seen in a 4P x 86 blade. This creates an extremely powerful database engine while handling very demanding workloads & making traditional 4P rack to blade transition a true reality. The Pro Liant BL680c G7 supports the E7-4800 family & E7-8867L processors. Four 130W processors are supported with 64 RDIMM slots for 2.0TB of memory, 7 PCIe Gen 2 I/O slots, & 6 10 Gb Flex Fabric 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 & density at the expense of proportional memory & I/O bandwidth. These server often fail when faced with larger databases, higher-density virtualization & general data-intensive applications.
