How HP BladeSystem is different Infrastructure is at the heart and soul of HP. HP's BladeSystem solution unites 60 years of hardware, software and service expertise into one architecture, built from the ground up for midsize businesses, and applies that knowledge to your unique business problems. HP offers exclusive innovations for your biggest infrastructure problems.
Network complexity: HP Virtual Connect architecture lets you wire the infrastructure once, then add, replace or recover blades on the fly, without impacting networks and storage or requiring multiple experts at each step. Rising energy costs: Smart, HP Thermal Logic technology pools and shares power and cooling, and provisions it intelligently to where it’s needed most to improve energy efficiency every second of operation. Complex management: Insight Control management includes built-in control interfaces and unified infrastructure management software that are easy to use and can streamline operations and increase administrator productivity. Unreliable service delivery: The NonStop midplane separates network and power midplanes and eliminates active components to improve the reliability of the total system while redundant power, cooling, management, network and server features maintain consistent service delivery.
HP bring's together the best of HP. The DNA of our best product lines are built directly into the HP BladeSystem. Multiple HP teams design unique hardware and software for BladeSystem and build business solutions for many industries inside.
HP bring's together the best from outside of HP, too. Choosing HP gives you the power of partnership. Through the HP Solution Builder program, hundreds of companies build innovative technologies and solutions exclusively for the HP BladeSystem. This means you can connect to the networks and storage you use now, rely on the same standards you are familiar with, and run the same operating systems and applications you run today.
We don’t compromise. Other blade designs cut features to try to save things like space or power or push a “onesize-fits-all” solution. Some offer limited choices of servers, storage, networking and software compatibility. Even though our blades offer more memory, network performance and proven features like hot plug disk drives, we get more into each enclosure—two more than IBM and six more than Dell.11
HP don’t believes you should compromise the trusted technologies you rely on today just to gain the advantages of blades. We make sure you can run the same applications and operating systems you want today and tomorrow, connect with everything in your environment and never sacrifice on performance, reliability or efficiency.
