863442-B21 - HP ProLiant BL460c Gen10 10Gb/20Gb FlexibleLOM Configure-to-Order Blade Server

Description

The HP 863442-B21 is a Configure-to-Order (CTO) part number for the HP ProLiant BL460c Gen9 blade server. This designation means that the server is not pre-configured with specific components but rather serves as a base platform that can be customized with processors, memory, storage, and network adapters to precisely match the intended workload and performance requirements. The BL460c Gen9 is a powerful, versatile half-height blade server designed to be deployed within an HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure. As a Gen9 model, the BL460c supports the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 and v4 processor families, offering significant compute power and efficiency. It is equipped to handle demanding enterprise workloads, including virtualization, private cloud infrastructure, and high-performance computing. The platform leverages DDR4 SmartMemory, providing higher bandwidth and lower power consumption compared to previous generations, crucial for memory-intensive applications. Operationally, the BL460c Gen9 blade server requires a compatible HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, which provides shared power, cooling, networking, and management infrastructure. This integrated approach allows for high density, simplified cabling, and efficient management of multiple servers. The CTO nature of the 863442-B21 allows organizations to tailor the server's specifications, such as the number and type of drives, network interface cards, and memory configuration, to optimize performance, cost, and resource utilization for their specific needs.
