The BL620c G7 is a multiprocessor (MP) server blade, 

which is a better alternative for 2P applications 

requiring high performance, I/O bandwidth, and 

features greater than traditional dual processor (DP) 

offerings. An MP server often gives you considerably 

more than a typical DP—making the BL620c G7 

server blade ideal for applications that require higher 

performance features and scalability. The BL620c G7 

is an ideal choice for virtualization, supporting up to 

133 virtual machines (VMs), which in turn is up to four 

times the number when compared to competitive Intel 

Xeon 6500/7500 2S server blades.

With powerful MPs and a half terabyte of  

memory, you can defy the barriers of server 

consolidation and get superior compute  

power for your compute-intensive database  

and higher-density virtualization applications. 

Transform your IT infrastructure by implementing  

the new class of balanced and scale-up  

servers—such as the BL620c G7—which offers the 

reliability and performance you need to handle 

demanding workloads.

Key features and benefits

Seamlessly scale up to 512 GB of registered DDR3 

RAM to 1066 MHZ in a 2S configuration with the 

BL620c G7. By fully utilizing the design architecture of 

the Intel Xeon 7500 chipset, up to two top-performing 

130-watt processors, you can now expand your 

business with confidence and also realize ultimate 

virtualization efficiency. The BL620c G7 server  

blade provides:
• Two Intel Xeon 6500/7500 processors of up to  

130 watts each deliver higher computing power for 

a 2S server blade.

• 32 DIMM slots for up to 512 MB of memory for high 

threaded and memory-intensive applications and a 

variety of data-demanding workloads.

• Up to 133 VMs per server for large virtualization 

and consolidation projects.

• Per each processor socket, two memory controllers 

connect to four Intel Scalable Memory Buffers for 

improved memory capacity and bandwidth as well 

as overall system performance.

• 40 Gb of embedded FlexFabric ports and three I/O 

expansion slots bring the total I/O bandwidth to an 

outstanding 96 Gb.

• High-performance integrated Smart Array P410i 

Controller with RAID 0/1 and flash-backed and 

battery-backed write cache options up to 1 GB. 

• Up to two hot-plug small form factor (SFF) SAS, SATA, 

or SSD drives with up to 1.2 TB of internal storage for 

versatile configuration and deployment options.

The BL620c G7 server blade is an industry-leading 

2S, full-height blade server that offers excellent value 

for your money and superior performance in a  

high-density multiprocessor form factor. It provides:
• Up to 4x of memory capacity and enhanced 

performance compared to the competing  

2P Intel Xeon 6500/7500 server blades

3

 with 

twice the number of RAS features.

4

• Up to 5x of memory capacity, 20x embedded 

Ethernet bandwidth, and 50 percent more  

onboard I/O slots than traditional 2P Intel Xeon 

5500 and 5600 Series processor blade servers 

available today.

5

 

• 2 eight-core processors provide up to the  

same performance as 4 four-core 7400 Series 

processors. This brings down the number of sockets 

by half—reducing licensing costs of software based 

on the number of sockets. In other words, the  

BL620c G7 server blade will give you a great  

price/performance ratio.

• 2S Intel Xeon 6500 Series processors for 

performance matching their more expensive  

7500 series counterparts.

With four embedded HP 10 Gb NC553i FlexFabric 

Converged Network Adapters (CNAs), the BL620c G7 

server blade delivers improved performance and cost 

savings of converged network connectivity. It helps:
• Sustain sufficient bandwidth for network-intensive 

applications

• Streamline, simplify, and increase network and 

storage traffic with Fibre Channel over Ethernet 

(FCoE), hardware-based iSCSI acceleration, and 

stateless TCP/IP offloading

• Reduce infrastructure costs and simplify management 

by converging LAN and SAN traffic over the same 

flexible connection

• Provide up to 16 connections to network and storage 

without the need for add-in mezzanine cards 

• Divide and fine-tune network and storage bandwidth 

to match application requirements

Why RAS?

In a memory-intensive computing environment, 

RAS is paramount. Multiprocessor servers provide 

industry-leading RAS capabilities primarily in 

memory and chipset to protect data transfer  

points throughout the system. The Intel Xeon 

6500/7500 Series architecture offer more  

robust RAS features than Intel Xeon 5500/5600 

dual processor technology.
