Powerful Performance

Built on the Gen8 features of the ProActive Insight architecture, the HP BL660c Gen8 offers improvements in performance, memory, networking, I/O, storage, and management.

It supports up to four E5-4600 processors, up to four 10 Gb FlexFabric ports with the Gen8 FlexibleLOM solution and 1.0 TB of Gen8 HP SmartMemory (SmartMemory uses less power but without impact to performance), and comes with three PCIe 3.0 expansion slots (two x 16, one x 8).

Gen8 embedded Smart Array P220i RAID controller supports the HP Smart Storage and SmartDrive carrier, and a choice of a very wide section of hot plug SAS, SATA, SAS SSD, and SATA SSD hard drives.

With all this infrastructure in a box, you can handle more data-demanding virtualization, database, business processing, decision support, and HPC applications.

The HP ProLiant BL660c Gen8 Server Blade is a new density-optimized server blade offering 4P performance in a single-wide, full-height form factor.

You get double the computing density compared to the previous 4P Intel-based server blade without compromising on performance, scalability, and expandability.
