HP Blade Servers
Fixing server issues is one of the many advantages to the HP BladeSystem.
Among server issues, the system also solves infrastructure problems.
HP has taken a complete system approach to design. By using
advanced management tools to integrate computing,
storage, power, and network resources into a virtualized, self-aware,
automated environment. With the BladeSystem, you're managing a pool of
resources as easily as one machine.
HP BladeSystem infrastructures are the next generation of
industry standard, scale-out architectures and provide a
more efficient way to build an infrastructure meant for
efficiency and change. Whether you’re using datacenter
or desktop solutions, HP brings ease and
efficiency of blade design and the low prices of standards
with the industry's leading enterprise management tools, to
create a universal platform for Linux® and Microsoft® Windows® environments.
Integrated
Connect standard modules into a wired-once, intelligent infrastructure
Computer, storage, power, and network resources integrated into an
advanced management framework; improving togetherness and processes.
Wired-once into the consolidated infrastructure, modular resources are
easily changed or repurposed to create new solutions. With management
built in to every component, blades can identify the location of all
resources connected to the intelligent infrastructure and manage
advanced monitoring, control and change.
HP BladeSystem solutions can be managed as one platform through HP Systems Insight Manager.
Access is available through one console to all infrastructure components and
tasks necessary to discover, monitor, configure and provision
resources across the lifecycle.
Virtualized
Divide or combine pools of shared resources to support workloads of any
size and type. In the HP BladeSystem, physical resources such
as HP storage, server, network and power; are pooled and shared across
multiple business applications and services and all controlled from a
common management console. What and where the physical resources are
becomes unimportant. To deliver a scale-out infrastructure optimized for
a changing enterprise, HP is re-creating how the infrastructure should
be designed and managed. Virtualization of the physical, modular
components with the HP BladeSystem creates unconstrained
environments for workloads of any size.
The integrated system as well as individual elements can be virtualized to
eliminate over-provisioning and optimize utilization as business needs change.
These shared resources can be allocated to support workloads of
any size, and can scale without limit.
Automated
Eliminate manual processes across the infrastructure and free
resources for innovation. The biggest driver of cost in most
datacenters is manual support tasks. The key barrier to quality
service levels is a lack of agility. Automation is the key to improve both.
Customer research shows drivers of cost:
Up to 75% are personnel or
services costs Only 25% are Hardware, software, infrastructure. The self-aware,
policy-driven environment of HP BladeSystem eliminates manual processes;
simplifying deployment, maintenance and ensuring high availability.
Through the integrated design and virtualized environment, HP BladeSystem
infrastructures create a dynamic, scaleable utility of resources that
thrives on change. By automating advanced and complex management tasks, IT
expertise is freed for development of applications and services
that drive new revenue streams.
