HPE BL460c G10 Blade Server 2x Xeon 5217 128GB 2x 300GB SAS

HPE BL460c Gen10 dual Xeon 5217 server

This HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen10 blade server arrives with two Xeon Platinum 5217 processors running at 3.0 GHz, 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a pair of 300 GB 10K SAS drives. The Smart Array P204i-b SR Gen10 controller manages the internal storage while an integrated FlexFabric 20 Gb 2-port 650FLB adapter handles networking. Remote management is provided by HPE iLO Advanced with firmware updated to the latest stable version.

Suited for dense virtualisation and database hosts

The dual eight-core CPUs and maximum installed memory fit workloads that need high core counts and large RAM within a single half-height blade slot. Buyers who require more than two internal 2.5-inch drive bays, a discrete graphics processor or a different memory generation should consider alternative platforms. The fixed 128 GB capacity also means the system cannot be expanded beyond the shipped configuration.

Dual Xeon Platinum 5217 at 3.0 GHz

The two installed processors set the performance ceiling for every compute task on this blade. Each CPU delivers eight cores at 3.0 GHz with 11 MB cache, and the server board supports no additional sockets. If the application demands higher clock speeds, more cores per socket or a newer microarchitecture, this specific blade will not meet the requirement.
