Flexible blade server
hosts mixed technologies
Nexcom has launched its most versatile blade server to date with the introduction of the new HS416A
The HS416A's unique architecture enables it to accommodate any combination of 32bit, 64bit or dual-core server blades and/or Pentium M based PC blades in the same compact 4U chassis. This unique feature gives users the flexibility to mix and match between PC-blade and blade-server technology without the need to purchase an additional chassis - thus saving money and valuable rack space.
