Click More Information to display a list of other important directCache information, such as Read Sector and Requests, how many Hits and Misses of each, and how many reads were rejected due to infrequent use.

Live tab

The Live tab lets you monitor important information for one or several devices in real time. The Live tab displays IOPS Read/Write when Operations is selected, MB/Second when Data is selected, and Temperature and Reserve Space. Select Data or Operations using the large button above the graph.

The Live tab also displays information for PBW Endurance.

Reports tab (Device Page)

The Reports tab shows from three to five history graphs for a single device: Operations, Data & Endurance, Temperature, Cache Hit Requests, and Cache Latency. Cache Hit Requests and Cache Latency are available only when the device is being used as a cache. Enter start and end dates in the menus above the graph to show data for different dates.

•Operations—Click to display IOPS. The selected button is highlighted. Operations displays the average Read and Write hits as the amount of IOPS.

•Data & Endurance—Displays the Average Read and Write hits in Bytes per second. Each device has a PBW Rating. The device warranty is based on this PBW Rating.

When Data & Endurance is selected, the following message appears above the graph: Future performance based on this date range suggests X PBW Usage Warranty will last for more than X years.

If the date range selected is not an accurate representation of the anticipated future performance of the device, you can modify the date range to include data that better represents future behavior and thereby include a better prediction of the warranty expiration.

•Temperature—The data shows you how temperature changes over time over days or throughout a day.

•Cache Hit Requests—This charts the percent of read requests that were serviced from the cache.

•Cache Latency—The graph shows Cache Latency for Read Hits, Read Misses, and Read Average.

Info tab

The Info tab provides details about a single device, including recent alerts.

The Info tab also shows adapter Information, such as kind of board (single or duo), the serial number, and PCIe Bus voltage, current, power, and bandwidth.

The directCache part of the page is the same page that is displayed when you click the More Details... link in the Configure tab.

c-Class specifications

The HP c-Class is a series of high-performance blade servers designed to optimize space and improve data center efficiency. These compact systems exemplify HP's commitment to delivering powerful computing solutions that are both scalable and manageable. The c-Class offers an array of features, technologies, and characteristics that cater to diverse business needs, ensuring organizations can keep up with the demands of modern computing environments.

At the heart of the HP c-Class architecture is its innovative blade technology, enabling multiple server blades to reside within a single enclosure. This not only conserves physical space in the data center but also reduces energy consumption, ultimately lowering operational costs. The c-Class enclosure supports a variety of HP server blades, which can be tailored to meet specific workload requirements.

One of the standout features of the HP c-Class is its high-density design, allowing organizations to run numerous processors and substantial memory within a compact footprint. The system supports the latest Intel and AMD processors, offering exceptional processing capabilities. With a modular design, businesses can easily scale up resources by adding more blades as demand increases.

In terms of connectivity, the HP c-Class integrates advanced networking options. It includes embedded Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches, facilitating seamless data transfer and communications while ensuring minimal latency. The built-in redundancy features enhance reliability, making it a robust solution for critical applications.

Power and thermal management are key characteristics of the HP c-Class, with Energy Star compliance underscoring its efficiency. Intelligent power management tools allow for real-time monitoring and optimization, further contributing to reduced energy costs.

HP's Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) technology is another significant advantage. This tool provides remote management capabilities, giving IT personnel the ability to monitor the health and performance of the server blades from anywhere. The iLO feature simplifies troubleshooting and enhances system uptime.

Security features are also woven into the fabric of the HP c-Class. With options for advanced authentication and secure boot processes, organizations can protect their critical data and maintain compliance with local regulations.

In summary, the HP c-Class blade server series delivers a compelling combination of high performance, scalability, and manageability. Its advanced technologies cater to a wide range of applications, making it an ideal choice for businesses seeking to enhance their IT infrastructure while keeping costs in check. The c-Class is not just a product; it represents a strategic approach to efficient, high-capacity computing.
