Business Benefits BladeSymphony 2000
•         Reduce cost through flexibility: With SMP scalability, plan and purchase for now, without worry or planning for excess resources you “may” need tomorrow

•Have greater security, isolation and performance with Hitachi logical partitioning feature (LPAR), which delivers significantly lower cost enablement than other software solution
•Support changing requirements  with an open industry standard blade hardware platform. Get away from proprietary UNIX server environments and switched only I/O fabrics
•       Hitachi blade servers run on x86 technology and also support industry standard PCIe slots

•One single vendor: Whether it’s enterprise storage or servers, Hitachi is the only partner that can provide enterprise level hardware and support services on a global scale
•       Blade Server 2000 covers a wide range of computing environments from PC server consolidation to mission critical systems. Investment in one single platform can meet a wide variety of computing needs thus lowering total support and upfront capital costs
•      Hitachi symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) technology lets you purchase server resources to satisfy compute requirements today without the need to anticipate future growth and compute requirements of tomorrow. When additional resources are required, purchase the additional blades and SMP connectors to scale up your server environment to satisfy future growth
•      With up to 1TB addressable memory when using 4 blade SMP, a wide range of high performance applications can run on the Blade Server 2000 platform, alleviating the need for high end UNIX systems. This reduces the high hardware, software and support costs that are typically associated with UNIX or RISC systems
•      Balanced architecture design of Hitachi blade servers insures there are no bottlenecks. The hybrid I/O design of Blade Server 2000 supports both an integrated switched fabric and direct access PCIe Gen 2 Slots to meet the IO requirements of the most demanding applications
•      Blade Server 320 offers space and power efficiencies. Using SSD in a Blade Server 320 lets you support applications that require faster storage access
