Blade server for virtualisation workloads

The HPE BL460c G9 fits a standard blade enclosure and delivers two Xeon E5-2690 v4 processors running at 2.6 GHz with 14 cores each. It targets IT teams that need dense compute for virtual machines or container clusters. Buyers who require GPU acceleration or more than two processor sockets should look elsewhere.

Maximum memory fixed at 256 GB DDR4

The system ships with 256 GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory, which is also the platform ceiling. No further DIMMs can be added, so capacity planning must stay within this limit. The installed amount suits moderate database caches and hypervisor hosts.

P244br controller and dual 900 GB SAS drives

An onboard P244br storage controller with 1 GB flash-backed cache manages the two 2.5-inch 900 GB 10K SAS drives. The RAID engine enables mirroring or striping without a separate card. The 10 Gb two-port 562T adapter and iLO Advanced remote management are also included.

Questions about this item

What does 256GB DDR4 mean for actual workloads?

The server ships with 256GB of DDR4 ECC registered memory installed, which is also the maximum capacity this model supports.

How does the SAS interface limit drive performance?

The two 900GB SAS 10K drives connect through the P244br controller, so throughput is capped by the SAS link and the 10K spindle speed.

What physical space does this blade need in a rack?

The half-height blade measures 22 x 22 x 10 inches and weighs 20 units, so it occupies one half-height slot in a compatible enclosure.
