HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure -
key benefits

Simplicity

Simple to manage, easy to control

• Consolidation right from the start - The HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure goes beyond just Servers, by integrating server, storage(NAS or iSCSI), networking and power management into a single solution that can be deployed anywhere
• Total control - With Onboard Administrator enclosure management, iLO Server management and HP Insight Control you manage your servers and enclosures locally and remotely and take complete control regardless of the state of the server Operating System
• Simplicity - easy setup and management using tools you're used to, such as a local DVD drive for SmartStart software deployment, and a local KVM interface for local rack-based KVM integration

Agility

Change ready IT that can grow and flex with your needs

• Pre-wired and pre-configured, the c3000 Enclosure can makes adding a new server blade as simple as just plugging it in.
• Virtualizes everything - Going beyond just virtual servers, the c3000 Enclosure allows you to virtualize your network, your storage and your power infrastructure so you can reduce costs while protecting your business assets against disasters.
• Drag and Drop migration and deployment - HP Insight Control gives you the power to migrate from an old server to a new BladeSystem Server, move a Virtual Machine from one physical server to another or deploy a new operating system in minutes rather than hours or days.
