Egenera® BladeFrame® EX Processing BladeTM Specifications
Within the BladeFrame® and BladeFrame ES systems, Processing Blades provide the processing capacity needed to run applications. To accommodate a range of customer requirements, Egenera offers both two-processor and four-processor Processing Blade (pBladeTM) configurations based on x86 microprocessor technology from AMD and Intel.
Significantly, Egenera Processing Blades are diskless, anonymous and interchangeable—enabling automated allocation, repurposing and failover since any pBladeTM can immediately assume the identity of any other. Disk resources are accessed from a storage area network (SAN) or network attached storage (NAS). This unique design enables a data center to pool processing assets and associate configurations with the pool instead of assigning individual servers to specific applications. It also enables Egenera to deliver four processors in a 1U form factor.
