Look this somber computer here? can you see it cracking jokes, or even being noticed enough to be the brunt of a joke? this looks like a perfectly unassuming, unfunny computer

computers are serious business.

serious e-business.
from ibm.



mainframes are never funny

this dude is not kidding around about his business continuity practice

he is multiprise 3000-grade serious
he's straight-up model 240 parallel-sysplex serious

the smile is just to disarm you before he paradigm shifts your punchcard-using rear end

i had one of these. it wouldn't start up with more than 2 sticks of ram installed unless there was a special "ram fan" installed. finding that out by accident was very unfunny indeed, op.

no i disagree, this is very funny

it is a blade server that takes as much space and power as a regular server, but still costing more. that's fuckin hilarious.

hp. invent.

yeah blade servers are dumb as poo poo, i remember having to deal with a dell one and an hp one back in the nehalem era

i think the hp one was amd back when opterons were still relevant :rip:

no that is a current hp product you can buy today

it takes up four "server bays" in an hp blade chassis. so you can choose between 8 itanium2, or 48 xeon cores in the same space.

slow, bulky, and expensive? that's hp innovation

there are probably some federal government contracts that specify blade servers must be used keeping this garbage alive

looks like the same backplane/chassis i was dealing with in 2008

what is a blade server? is it just a server that goes in a rack as opposed to a standalone tower server?

server hardware is outside of my realm of knowledge. my "server" at home is a micro-atx case with some ram, hard drives, a pentium processor, and debian.

edit: oh, it's apparently not just a regular rack-mounted server

a common chassis servers can share power/cooling and with the fancier ones, network and other IO by exposing their pcie lanes to specialized interfaces

there were a couple years where they gave you some density advantages (fit 8 U worth of servers in less than 8 U) but in general they just cause more problems than they solve

this is no ordinary blade server though

it's an hp proprietary unix blade server, so it's 1/10th the density of an actual blade. now you can combine all the dubious advantages of blades with all the obvious downsides of proprietary unix poo poo from the 1990s
