About the chassis

The VIPRION chassis is the housing unit that contains all of the components necessary for the VIPRION platform to

operate effectively. One of the most powerful features of the VIPRION platform is that you can add, remove, or change

any or all of the essential components of the platform. These components include blades, power supplies, the fan tray,

the front bezel (with LCD panel), and the System ID card. This configuration allows for an extremely robust and flexible

system that can manage large amounts of application traffic, and remain operational even if one of its components goes

offline.
