The IBM® BladeCenter® HX5 server is a blade server based on the fifth generation of the Enterprise
X-Architecture®, delivering innovation with enhanced scalability, reliability, and availability features to
enable optimal performance for databases, enterprise applications, and virtualized environments.
X-Architecture®, delivering innovation with enhanced scalability, reliability, and availability features to
enable optimal performance for databases, enterprise applications, and virtualized environments.
The IBM BladeCenter HX5 supports up to two processors, using latest "EX" generation of Intel Xeon
processor E7 family. Two HX5 servers can be connected together for a high-performance single image
with four processors and up to 1 TB of RAM in a blade form factor. For applications that need to maximize
available memory but that do not need four processors, a single HX5 server can be attached to a MAX5
memory expansion blade to form a single image with two processors and up to 1.25 TB of RAM. This
level of processing and memory capacity is ideal for large-scale database or virtualization requirements.
