Features and Benefits
The Pinnacle 1BX5502 blade server offers the best of both worlds — full-size performance in half the space. We have created a 1U chassis-based solution that will hold two complete blade servers, giving you the high performance and density you need. Each blade can come complete with dual Intel Xeon Processors 5500, up to 12 populated DIMM slots, and a variety of storage options. Management is a snap with the onboard IPMI and virtual iKVM feature.
When designing the 1BX5502 blade unit, we knew that a few features were mandatory. First, the system should be power efficient. Each blade unit will come with an 80%+ efficient power supply. Second, both servers must have their own power supply so if one were to fail, both would not need to be taken off line. With this in mind, we decided that all components should be easily removed — all fans, hard drives and power supplies can be removed tool-lessly. The blade itself slides out of the 1U chassis housing with easy-to-use retention clips. Because the 1U chassis unit is hard mounted, no slide rails are necessary.
Our knowledgeable sales and technical teams will walk you through the process of determining whether this system is right for you. We will evaluate your application, heating and cooling challenges, space requirements, and software and management needs to ensure that you get your perfect Pinnacle server.
