It is without question, that the new BL260c server blade offers the lowest cost and best performance per watt in the industry. It costs a minimum of 25% less than any other server blade and consumes 33% less power with full features. It is: The World’s most affordable, power efficient server blade. Like all HP BladeSystem components, the new HP BL260c offers greater energy efficiency and features than IBM's HS21 server. The two processor, multi-core BL260c combines energy efficient compute power, high density with sufficient memory and I/O for the full range of small, mid market or remote site applications. This new balanced architecture supports Intel’s newest Xeon 5400 and 5200 sequence processors. And as a bonus, the BL260c also offers support for Intel's affordable Xeon uP processors. Additional features include support for ECC 667MHz DDR2 registered memory, optional Serial ATA (SATA) hard-drives, and multiple I/O cards.
