The IBM BladeCenter® QS22 is based on the innovative multi-core IBM PowerXCell 8i processor, a new generation processor based on the Cell Broadband Engine (Cell/B.E.) Architecture. Offering extraordinary double precision floating point processing power, the QS22 can yield application results faster and with more fidelity. This can enable organizations to get information faster to facilitate important business decisions.

  • Third generation blade system based on an enhanced version of the Cell Broadband Engine™ Architecture
  • IBM PowerXCell™ 8i processor, offering five times the double precision performance of the previous Cell/B.E. processor
  • High-performance blade solution for selected workloads
  • Significant performance acceleration of target workloads such as rendering and medical imaging
  • Up to 32 GB of processor memory

Features

IBM PowerXCell 8i processor

- Advanced asymmetric multi-core processor optimized for parallel processing and streaming applications
- Exceptional double precision performance versus previous Cell/B.E. processors
- Each processor includes a Power Processor Element and eight Synergistic Processor Elements optimized for floating point operations

Standard dual Gigabit Ethernet and optional dual-port DDR InfiniBand 4x, Serial Attached SCSI and I/O buffer

- Supports high communication throughput for high performance computing applications
- InfiniBand connected through PCI-Express for maximum performance.

Single-wide blade

- Up to 14 blade servers per chassis, delivering extreme performance in a compact footprint.
- Up to 6.4 TFLOPS Single Precision performance in a single BladeCenter H chassis and 25.8 TFLOPS in a standard 42U rack
- Up to 3.0 TFLOPS double precision performance in a single BladeCenter H chassis and 12.18 TFLOPS double precision in a standard 42U rack

BladeCenter deployment flexibility

- Leverages the high-speed communication fabric of BladeCenter H or HT chassis
- Coupled with BladeCenter S chassis leverages the chassis¡Ç internal storage
- Straightforward management and efficiency in business-critical, heterogeneous environments
- Integrate your networking switch infrastructure for improved cabling and data center maintenance

Two high-availability midplane connections

Each blade is reliably and easily connected via two redundant paths to the passive midplane and the integrated switching and power infrastructure contained in the BladeCenter chassis.

Light path diagnostics standard

- LED lights provide a quick and easy guide to troubleshoot your server. Faster problem resolution means higher availability and more server uptime.
- Independently powered, allowing you to remove the server from the chassis and still illuminate the light path LEDs.

Predictive Failure Analysis®

- Helps save you time and money by decreasing planned and unplanned downtime.
- Increases uptime by allowing you to receive proactive alerts as much as 24 - 48 hours in advance.

Integrated System Management Processor

Increases server availability by continuously monitoring your system and notifying you of potential system failures or changes.

IBM Director and IBM Director Extensions-comprehensive systems management tools

- Exploits hardware capabilities by surfacing pertinent information about your system, allowing you to automate a response.
- Helps increase uptime, reduce costs and improve productivity via advanced server management capabilities.
- Provides intelligent system management for rock-solid reliability.
