GreenBlade™ System
• Green Architecture– Power-optimized design resulting in
reduction of power consumption of platform cooling sub system
• Increased Density– Double the density of standard 1U
servers
• Improved R/A/S– Shared N+1 power design
– Shared cooling (3+3) design
– Hot-swappable blades
– Hot-swappable power supplies
– Hot-swappable cooling fans

• Three-year Savings in Power Cost per Server vs. GreenBlade™
– To adequately cool a compact 1U server, typical cooling system of 1U platform is designed as follows:
• Standard 1U uses up to six compact fans to cool one system
• Popular Twin 1U uses six compact fans to cool two systems
– On the other hand, GreenBlade™ uses six larger(120mm), more reliable fans to cool up to 10 systems
– Example below translates to lower TCO for a GreenBlade™ solution over competition
