Product Description
Introduction
The IBM® BladeCenter® HS22V is a two-way high-performance blade server
that offers outstanding performance for virtualization with new levels
of memory capacity and CPU performance. It offers 18 DIMM slots
supporting up to 288 GB of DDR3 memory for more and larger virtual
machines per blade. HS22V supports durable solid-state drives and
hardware RAID 0,1 providing outstanding reliability when virtualizing
multiple workloads on a single blade. Combining the HS22V with Virtual
Fabric from IBM BladeCenter provides flexible, easy, fast, and reliable
I/O that supports up to 40 GbE to each blade and up to a total of eight
ports of I/O per blade.

Did you know?
BladeCenter HS22V delivered leadership performance for a 2-processor
blade server running virtualization applications based on
SPECvirt_sc2010 benchmark. The HS22V achieved an overall performance
score of 1,367 @ 84 VMs. The HS22V was configured with the Intel Xeon
Processor X5690 (3.46GHz with 256KB L2 cache per core and 12MB L3 cache
per processor—2 processors/12 cores/6 cores per chip), 288 GB of memory,
two 50 GB disk drives, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0, and
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor.
