Blade Watch

Blade servers have always been the best solution for maximising rack space, but they could be about to lose their monopoly. HP’s latest DL1000 rack server series delivers four server nodes in a 2U rack chassis, and in this exclusive review we take a closer look at the new DL4×170h G6 quad-node model.

The DL4×170h offers a good range of storage options, with the review system providing eight hot-swap drive bays. Options are available for two eight-drive SFF bays that slot in at each end of the front panel. A glance at the back shows each node comes complete with its own power button plus monitor, network, serial and pair of external USB ports.

An interesting review of the HP Proliant DL4×170h-G, a server which has four nodes in the one 2u form factor. I do love the concept for example in a small compute farm or even as a small scale virtualization solution? I am off to read up more about them, but do check out the review, a mini blade solution in a 2u form factor if you like.
