Introduction
The
IBM
®
BladeCenter
™
JS20
Type
8842,
also
known
as
the
blade
server,
is
based
on
the
IBM
Power
Architecture
™
technologies.
The
IBM
Eserver
®
BladeCenter
Type
8677
(the
BladeCenter
unit)
supports
up
to
14
hot-swap
blade
servers.
The
BladeCenter
JS20
Type
8842
is
compatible
with
the
BladeCenter
unit.
This
high-performance
blade
server
is
well-suited
for
networking
environments
that
require
outstanding
microprocessor
performance,
efficient
memory
management,
flexibility,
and
reliable
data
storage.
