With in-house design engineering agility to accommodate customer needs rapidly, ThinkTank I-7U Blade revolutionizes modular computing architecture by offering several advanced application-optimized models such as Enterprise Blade Server, Data Center Optimized Blade, Workstation Blade and Personal Blade.

ThinkTank I-7U Blade Offers:
• Best Density in the Industry
• Highest Memory Expansion Capability in the Industry
• Fastest and Most Cost-Effective Networking Solution
• High Efficiency Power for Earth-Friendly Operations
• Outstanding Storage Flexibility
• Peace of Mind via Remote Management
• Unsurpassed TCO


Blade Enclosure

Space Optimization
Housed within a 19" industry-standard rack, the ThinkTank I-7U Blade servers reduce server footprint in the data center. Power, cooling and networking devices are aggregated in the rear of the chassis which optimizes the required amount of space.

Up to ten blade servers can be installed in a 7U chassis. Compared to the 10U of rack space that ten 1U servers would normally require as individual servers, the ThinkTank I-7U provides about 40% improved density with up to 60 total servers in a 42U rack.


Cable Reduction
The ThinkTank I-7U Blade enclosure greatly simplifies the cabling process by aggregating cabling of ten servers at once. Up to 70% of network, power, and KVM cabling required for ten 1U servers are reduced by moving to blade servers in a single chassis. These cabling reductions continue across networking, SAN connectivity, and management controllers.

Reducing the number of cables speeds up the deployment of servers and helps reduce troubleshooting issues by presenting fewer physical connections to the servers.

Blade Management


The ThinkTank I-7U Blade chassis management module (CMM) provides total remote control of individual server blades, power supplies, cooling fans, and networking switches remotely. System administrators enjoy the management ease and reassurance of continuous onboard instrumentation monitoring (temperature sensors, power status, voltages and fan speed). Remote power control capabilities to reboot and/or reset the server are available as well as remote access to the BIOS configuration and operating system console information vial SOL (Serial over LAN) or embedded KVM capabilities. Because the controller is a separate processor, all monitoring and control functions operate flawlessly regardless of CPU operation or system power-on status.

Blade Power Supply & Cooling


One of the biggest benefits of moving to a blade environment is the relocation of power supplies and fans into a single chassis versus an individual set in each server. This greatly helps reduce the power requirements on a per server basis.

Engineers have mastered the power supply design challenge to produce high-quality, high-performance solutions with peak efficiency ratings of 90% or higher.


High-efficiency Blade Power Supply Key Advantages


• Availability - Non-stop power with 3+1 redundant power supply modules
• Cost Saving - At 90%+ peak efficiency, power consumption is significantly reduced,
  providing a planet-friendly, real-world advantage for our environment.
• Investment Protection - Power capacity headroom for future generation processors
• Easy Installation - Snap-in installation from the back of the chassis;
  hot-swappable in operation
• Intelligent Power Infrastructure - Each power enclosure includes a power
  management module that monitors the power supplies and the power
  enclosure that connects to the blade management.
