IBM BladeCenter HS21, released in 2007, is a high-density blade server supported in all IBM BladeCenter chassis. It comes in the low range of the IBM BladeCenter server portfolio. High-density means that a lot of CPU power is packed into a small compact blade which has all the properties of a typical PC while requiring little power and cooling costs, and a chassis is a frame that holds in it many such blades. The selling point here is:a server blade that has a lot of power that can occupy as little real estate as possible, and is compatible with the existing frames (chassis) and requires little maintenance from the purchasing company. This machine also has Integrated System Management Processor, light path diagnostics, and Predictive Failure Analysis combine to provide powerful management capabilities. It also has IBM Systems Director provides remote management from a single graphical console—helping simplify and automate IT and networking tasks.
