The IBM BladeCenter HS22V has been designed specifically for use in virtualized environments. With 18 DIMM slots supporting up to 288 GB of DDR3 memory, the HS22V allows you to fit more and larger virtual machines per blade. Durable solid-state drives and hardware RAID-0 and -1 provide outstanding reliability when virtualizing multiple workloads on a single blade. An embedded hypervisor enables easy deployment of third-party virtualization solutions. Combine the HS22V with Virtual Fabric for IBM BladeCenter for a flexible, easy, fast and reliable I/O solution that helps reduce cost and complexity.
