Designed for Virtualization
The SIGMABLADE B120a-d is designed for virtualization solutions. Server virtualization, in particular, requires not only high performance, but higher server bandwidth to handle the increased volume of application and device communications of a virtualized environment. NEC had the foresight early on to include more I/O ports in the NEC Express5800 SIGMABLADES to address this need; as well as the increased memory, compatibility with high availability software, and integrated system management central to a smart server virtualization solution. |
