| | PRIMERGY BF200 |  |
Virtualized server pool for dynamic infrastructures |
| BladeFrame 200 combines six Processing Blades; redundant, integrated controllers; a redundant interconnect; and powerful virtualization software in a self-contained chassis. By delivering the PAN architecture in a scaled-down form factor, BladeFrame 200 enables IT organizations to leverage a common platform across the enterprise while |
bringing the benefits of utility computing to a wide range of applications and environments. The BF 200 is ideally suited for branch offices, call centers, remote sites and business units that would benefit from BladeFrames unique virtualization services, including automated deployment, built-in clustering and load balancing, dynamic utilization, secure partitioning, N+1 failover and disaster recovery, remote management and self-correcting diagnostics. The system’s compact form factor enables rack mounting along with storage devices, networking switches, routers and other components.
PRIMERGY BladeFrame BF200 and BF400 are identical in construction to the respective Egenera servers Bladeframe ES and EX and therefore are 100% compatible to each other. |

| Key features | Benefits |
| Stateless, anonymous and interchangeable processing nodes (pBlades) | Automated allocation, repurposing and failover since any pBlade can immediately assume the identity of any other, seamless integration and less complexity |
| Reduced time for provisioning of new servers | Faster reaction on new as well as on changed business processes and needs |
| Flexible and fast reallocation of server capacities | Reduction in real server instances and in software license costs, increased server utilization |
| Logically separate areas, each with their own administration authority for physical and virtual resources that are allocated to a set of applications | Independent, client-specific domains |
| Flexible failover and high availability without the need of additional cluster software | Ratio between production and failover servers = N:1, instead of 1:1 |
| Consistent form factor of processing resources (pBlade), 2- / 4-socket pBlades with Dual- and Quad-Core CPU’s, Intel / AMD processors: Mix and match configurations | Support of Windows, Linux and Solaris operating systems, deployment of unmodified applications |
