BladeSystems

A BladeSystem is an infrastructure in a box proven to save time, power and money in data centers large and small.

For organisations that are weighing the choice between deploying a large number of servers, total cost of ownership (TCO) analyses favour blade server systems over rack-optimised server systems for reductions in both capital and operating expenses. Blade server systems are all about exploiting the economies of scale when deploying servers in volume. Combined with NetApp’s SANs and VMware’s ESX software, HP BladeSystems provide an ideal replacement to a large number of servers or a new large infrastructure.
