Blade server for virtualisation

The HPE BL460c Gen10 blade fits into a c-Class enclosure and delivers two Xeon Gold 6252 processors running at 2.1 GHz with 24 cores each. Forty-eight gigabytes of DDR4 ECC registered memory and a Smart Array P204i-b SR controller support the installed pair of 1.8 TB SAS hard drives. Integrated Lights-Out Advanced and a FlexFabric 20 Gb 2-port adapter handle remote management and connectivity.

Suited to clusters needing dense compute

Teams that run hypervisors, container platforms or in-memory databases on a common SAN will match this density. Buyers who want more storage bays, GPU acceleration or a standalone rackmount chassis should look at other form factors. The half-height blade layout limits internal expansion to two 2.5-inch drives.

Dual Xeon Gold 6252 CPUs set the performance ceiling

Forty-eight cores at 2.1 GHz with 35.75 MB cache per processor define the throughput available for multi-threaded applications. Memory can grow to 128 GB using DDR4 modules, but the processor configuration is fixed at the factory.

Questions about this item

What DDR4 memory capacity can I add later to reach the 128 GB maximum?

The server has 48 GB installed and supports up to 128 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, leaving room for additional modules.

Which component limits sustained performance first, the 2.1 GHz Xeon Gold 6252 CPUs or the 1.8 TB SAS drives?

The 1.8 TB SAS hard drives will hit their throughput ceiling before the 24-core Xeon Gold 6252 processors under sustained workloads.

How much heat and power should I plan for when this blade runs all day in an enclosure?

Two 2.1 GHz Xeon Gold 6252 CPUs and two 1.8 TB SAS drives generate significant heat; the enclosure's shared cooling and power infrastructure must handle the combined load.
