Overview |
The BladeCenter® HT models are high-performance blade platforms for critical network applications to the telecommunications industry. They contain the telecommunications infrastructures that require networking equipment to support ac and dc power environments.
The IBM BladeCenter family, leveraging the best of telecom and IT, brings a powerful set of capabilities to the carrier environment, including the ability to flexibly deploy the same solution in either a datacenter or a central office environment without change. This powerful paradigm shift means service providers can now standardize on a single architecture across their business, driving down TCO and OPEX expense.
BladeCenter HT extends this value to network equipment and telecom service providers by supporting high speed connectivity (over 1 Terabyte of aggregate throughput on the backplane) and supports the high performance blade servers, featuring Dual and Quad core processors from Intel®, AMD, and IBM, and a complete management solution. Certified testing by Underwriters Laboratories of the BladeCenter HT chassis is in progress, and when complete the BladeCenter HT chassis will be covered under a UL certified NEBS Level 3/ETSI test report, which will be available for review with customers. IBM BladeCenter HT sets the bar for both one of the lowest cost per server and among the highest performance per server in the Telco industry.
BladeCenter HT brings significant new capabilities to IBM's broad ecosystem of hundreds of NGN applications already being deployed on BladeCenter. A key example of this ecosystem is the introduction of the Nortel 10 Gb Ethernet Switch Module for BladeCenter, which delivers 10 Gb to each blade server deployed in the BladeCenter H or BladeCenter HT chassis, and six 10 Gb Ethernet uplinks. This capability helps greatly reduce the cost of implementing IPTV and other high bandwidth NGN applications.

Network Clock Module Option |
Telecommunications synchronous networks rely on precise clocking (synchronous timing signals) to maintain the synchronous traffic within the network without slips (underrun/overrun conditions causing loss of data). Other synchronous transmission schemes, such as delay sensitive synchronous data over ATM, also require precise clocking synchronization within the network nodes to maintain the synchronous traffic without loss of data. This precise synchronous clocking insures that the data is received and transmitted at the same rate at every step, or hop, across the network. In order to support applications requiring strict synchronous timing, IBM plans to provide in the future, a new optional Network Clock Module, which will synchronize to clock sources and provide Stratum 3/3E timing signals within the chassis for support of interfaces to external networks requiring the strict timing relationship across these networks. The BladeCenter® HT is enabled to support this future function.
Feature benefits:
- Data integrity and reliability

Security, auditability, and control
Security and auditability features for BladeCenter HT includes:
- Power-on and privileged-access password functions provide controls of who has access to the data and server setup program on the server.
- Set unattended boot mode allows the system keyboard to be locked to all entries except the password and at the same time allows other computers on the network to access the system disk drive.
- Selectable boot sequence can be used to prevent unauthorized installation of software or removal of data from the diskette drive.
The chassis and servers are intended to be installed and secured in a rack. It is a customer's responsibility to ensure that server and rack installation are secure to prevent sensitive data from being removed.
The customer is responsible for evaluation, selection, and implementation of security features,
administrative procedures, and appropriate controls in application systems and communications
facilities.

IBM Electronic Services |
IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to put you on the road to higher system availability. Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent.
The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.
The Electronic Service Agent is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems.
