1.6.3 IBM BladeCenter H
The IBM BladeCenter H (Figure 1-19) is a high-performance 9U chassis, designed for
compute-intensive environments, such as Earth/Life Sciences, commercial analytics, and
next-generation network applications.

It provides:
򐂰 Reduced single points of failure: Many major components (either standard or optionally)
are hot-swappable or redundant. Servers and modules can be configured for automatic
failover to backups.
򐂰 Compatibility with earlier versions: Every blade, switch, and pass-through module
released by IBM, since the original IBM BladeCenter E chassis in 2002, is supported in the
IBM BladeCenter H chassis.
