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.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 128 GB DDR4 configuration or add more memory later?

The system ships with 128 GB DDR4 installed and the maximum supported capacity is 128 GB, so no further memory can be added.

What does the 3.0 GHz Xeon 5217 speed mean for actual workloads?

Two Xeon 5217 processors run at 3.0 GHz, providing eight cores each for multi-threaded applications such as virtualization or databases.

How does the SAS interface with the Smart Array P204i-b controller affect storage performance?

The two 300 GB 10K SAS drives connect through the Smart Array P204i-b SR controller, which manages RAID and caps throughput at the SAS link speed.
