BladeCenter blade servers http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/bladecenter/hardware/servers/ at the current moment, following appears to incorrectly copy the description of HS23E for e5-2400 which is single chip-socket ... the HS23 is e5-2600 with dual chip-socket with 8processor per chip, for 16processors and 32 hyperthreads. IBM BladeCenter HS23 http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/bladecenter/hardware/servers/hs23/index.html this does better at describing HS23 with two sockets. IBM BladeCenter HS23 http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0843.html BC-H 14 bay chassis allows 14 HS23 @$1815 is $25,410 (plus cost of the chassis) and at 527BIPS would be aggregate of 7.4TIPS (the equivalent of 147 50MIP 80-processor z196 and @$28M would be $4B). BladeCenter H Chassis http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/bladecenter/hardware/chassis/bladeh/ BladeCenter H (8852) http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/xbc/cog/bc_h_8852/bc_h_8852aag.html bladecenter H chassis is 9U ... for standard 42U rack, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19-inch_rack that could allow four bladecenter h chassis (36U) per 42U rack or 56 HS23 blades, @$1815 is $101,640 (plus cost of rack and four bladecenter H chassis) and at 527BIPS would be aggregate of 30TIPS (or equivalent of 590 50MIP 80-processor z196 and @$28M would be $16.5B, IBM uplift for mainframe for services, software, and storage would be over $100B ). -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
