IBM BladeCenter HS22V
IBM Redbooks Product Guide
The IBM® BladeCenter® HS22V is a two-way high-performance blade server that offers outstanding
performance for virtualization with new levels of memory capacity and CPU performance. It offers 18
DIMM slots supporting up to 288 GB of DDR3 memory for more and larger virtual machines per blade.
HS22V supports durable solid-state drives and hardware RAID 0,1 providing outstanding reliability when
virtualizing multiple workloads on a single blade. Combining the HS22V with Virtual Fabric from IBM
BladeCenter provides flexible, easy, fast, and reliable I/O that supports up to 40 GbE to each blade and
up to a total of eight ports of I/O per blade.
The HS22V is shown in Figure 1.

Did you know?
BladeCenter HS22V delivered leadership performance for a 2-processor blade server running
virtualization applications based on SPECvirt_sc2010 benchmark. The HS22V achieved an overall
performance score of 1,367 @ 84 VMs. The HS22V was configured with the Intel Xeon Processor X5690
(3.46GHz with 256KB L2 cache per core and 12MB L3 cache per processor—2 processors/12 cores/6
cores per chip), 288 GB of memory, two 50 GB disk drives, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0, and
Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) hypervisor.
