What do some of the world's best run small to midsize businesses do with their HP BladeSystem?
- Grow their business
- Support their business
- Simplify their business
- Secure their business
Small to mid-size business owners face unique challenges to do more with less, yet:
- Grow at your pace within the datacenter size available (even if that's just a desk)
- Meet budget constraints
- Support green measures to reduce power and cooling expenses
- Support the business at the IT infrastructure level without requiring increased headcount and time for redundant tasks
- Run multiple applications faster and efficiently for both internal and external customer purposes
- Create a secure business continuity solution to meet customer, employee, and legal requirements
All of the above challenges can be met and virtually eliminated running HP BladeSystems. Whether you're the IT person trying to move to blades or the business owner trying to understand the request, we're convinced you've come to the right place.
Simply put, it's an infrastructure in a box. The box is known as an enclosure or chassis. The box is where the moving parts connect to the blades, which are simply computers or servers without fans, power supplies, etc. This saves money on energy and space because the enclosure pools, shares, and optimizes power and cooling across all the blades. The result is more blades fit into a typical rack space.
The result of using blades over traditional servers is you do more with less: Less power, less cooling, less datacenter footprint, less management, less headcount, less servers to buy, less total cost of ownership. And greater profits. Calculate your cost and power savings now.
We've got multitudes of customers worldwide; some of them may have started where you are at this moment. You can watch their video stories or read their reviews to identify others who've gone before you to install blades. Many of our customers, employees, and members of the technical community at large can be found at our free online community. Make connections, ask questions, and get answers.
