The HP Pro Liant BL460c Gen 8 is a dual-socket server blade engineered for unprecedented performance, enhanced flexibility & simplified management which makes it the standard for data center computing. The Pro Liant BL460c Gen 8 Server packs in more performance with a 33% increase in memory DIMM count, Intel Xeon E5-2600 Processor with added support for 130W processors, faster I/O slots & enhanced Smart Array Controller that now ships with 512MB Flash Back Write Cache standard. In addition, it is also more flexible with the HP Flexible LOM which provides the ability to customize server networking today & the ability to meet future needs without overhauling server hardware. Features Enhanced Processor Performance & Capabilities
- The latest 2-socket Intel Xeon E5-2600 Processor Family providing more performance & up to 8 cores with the same TDP
- Support for up to 130 watts per processor providing a wider choice of processor options & greater performance
- HP Smart Socket Guide provides quick & precise processor installation or upgrade
- Intel Turbo Boost 2, Intel AVX, & enhanced Intel QPI link speed provide more performance when needed, accelerate floating point intensive applications, & provide faster connections throughout the server enhanced Memory Capacity, Performance, & Power
- 16 DIMM slots provide up to 512MB of memory (33% increase over the previous generation)
- The four memory channels per processor provide no reduction in memory capacity or speed as DIMMs are added
- Operate RDIMMs at low power (1.35V LVDIMMs) without reducing performance, saving an estimated 15-25% wattage per DIMM
- Lower cost UDIMM capacity has increased to 128GB (nearly three times that of the previous generation)
- Choice of operating at a high performance mode (1.5V RDIMMs at 1600 M Hz), in a power saving, standard performance mode (1.35V LRDIMM/LVRDIMMs at 1333 M Hz), or a low cost mode (1.35V UDIMMs at 1333 M Hz) The New HP i LO Management Engine
- HP i LO Management Engine is a complete set of embedded management features supporting the complete lifecycle of the server, from initial deployment, through ongoing management, to service alerting & remote support. HP i LO Management Engine comes standard on all HP Pro Liant Gen 8 Servers
- The new HP i LO simplifies server setup, health monitoring, power & thermal control, & promotes remote administration. Access, deploy, & manage your server anytime from anywhere with your Smartphone device
- Now with HP Agentless Management, the base hardware monitoring & alerting capability of the BL460c Gen 8 are built into the system (running on the HP i LO chipset) & starts working the moment that a power cord & an Ethernet cable is connected to the server
- The new HP Active Health System monitors & records changes in the server hardware & system configuration, it assists in diagnosing problems & delivering rapid resolution when system failures occur
- HP Flexible LOM provides the ability to customize server networking today & the ability to meet future needs without overhauling server hardware. Provides choice of bandwidth & fabric (Ethernet, FCo E, Infini Band), supports WOL, & provides a shared i LO port for ease of use.
