Who should consider Blades? A blade server infrastructure is ideal for businesses that are: Wrestling with space restrictions Faced with information technology (IT) resource limitations Dealing with budgetary constraints Preparing for growth Planning an IT consolidation Why Blades Now? An evolutionary path to simplification of IT Foundational simplification of IT infrastructure This is what customers want, this is customer driven
What is a Blade System/Server anyway? Components of a blade system Server blades Enclosures Power & cooling Storage Interconnect kits Management software A blade system: A system of servers sharing interconnects for power, network, and storage resources Provides an infrastructure for physical consolidation and modular IT architectures Provides for unified management and application of IT business resources A blade server: A compact, high-density server that has its own CPU(s) and memory Shares cables, switches, power, and storage with other blade servers in an enclosure
HP BladeSystem benefits After Before Hewlett-Packard (HP) BladeSystem solutions can help mid-sized businesses operate efficiently, grow flexibly, and control costs Greatly simplifies multi-server environments Is easier to manage than rack-based systems Integrates computing, storage, power, and network resources Is more versatile and scalable than rack-based systems Integrates easily with existing infrastructure
HP BladeSystem benefits After Before Benefits for lab deployments: No more keyboard, mouse, and monitor required for every server No more Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM) switches, no more KVM cables No more network cabling nightmares No more power and power cabling nightmares No more server rack mounting problems No more server identification problems No more manual CD installs
HP BladeSystem benefits Only HP BladeSystem and HP ProLiant servers provides ‘remote desktop’ capabilities without the operating system installed using HP iLO technology This along with HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM) Microsoft® Windows® remote desktop and Microsoft® Operations Manager (MOM) requires: One and only one management console … from bare metal components to a fully functional server infrastructure

  • 5. Who should consider Blades? A blade server infrastructure is ideal for businesses that are: Wrestling with space restrictions Faced with information technology (IT) resource limitations Dealing with budgetary constraints Preparing for growth Planning an IT consolidation Why Blades Now? An evolutionary path to simplification of IT Foundational simplification of IT infrastructure This is what customers want, this is customer driven
  • 6. What is a Blade System/Server anyway? Components of a blade system Server blades Enclosures Power & cooling Storage Interconnect kits Management software A blade system: A system of servers sharing interconnects for power, network, and storage resources Provides an infrastructure for physical consolidation and modular IT architectures Provides for unified management and application of IT business resources A blade server: A compact, high-density server that has its own CPU(s) and memory Shares cables, switches, power, and storage with other blade servers in an enclosure
