Maximize memory
Going beyond the industry standards with unique innovations from  
fifth-generation IBM® X-Architecture® technology (eX5), the new  
IBM BladeCenter® HX5 enables unprecedented performance and utili-
zation in a blade form factor for database and virtualization. With 
enhanced MAX5 scalability, the HX5 blade offers memory capacity of  
up to 1.25 TB—in a double-wide blade. The result is optimal server  
utilization with more virtual machines per system and larger and faster 
databases.
Minimize cost
With MAX5, HX5 offers the most memory of any server in its class. 
Reduce software license costs by expanding memory capacity with  
MAX5 without purchasing additional processors.
Easy to own, manage and upgrade with pay-as-you-grow expansion,  
the HX5 blade server helps protect your investments over the long term. 
Capabilities such as advanced light path diagnostics, error handling and 
around-the-clock remote access management help simplify systems  
management and minimize downtime. Automatic node failover and  
QPI faildown help promote greater system uptime.
Simplify deployment
Flexible configurations make it easy to implement the right system. Get 
up and running up to four times faster by standardizing on a single plat-
form for two- and four-socket server needs. Harness the MAX5 module 
to boost memory without adding processors or software license costs.
Select configurations of the HX5 blade are part of the IBM Express 
Portfolio™ designed to meet the needs of midsized businesses. Easy to 
manage, Express models and configurations vary by country.
