BladeCenter HT
The IBM BladeCenter HT is a 12-server blade chassis designed for high-density server
installations, typically for telecommunications use. It offers high performance with the support
of 10 G Ethernet installations. This 12 U high chassis with DC or AC power supplies provides
a cost-effective, high-performance, high-availability solution for telecommunication networks
and other rugged non-telecommunications environments. IBM BladeCenter HT chassis is
positioned for expansion, capacity, redundancy, and carrier-grade NEBS level 3/ETSI
compliance in DC models.
BladeCenter HT provides a solid foundation for next-generation networks (NGN) enabling
service providers to become on demand providers. Coupled with technological expertise
within the enterprise data center, IBM makes use of the industry know-how of key business
partners to deliver added value within service provider networks.
