The thing you love about Linux is that its open source architecture makes it so flexible. But what good is that flexibility if it's limited by existing hardware constraints?

In order to make the most of an enterprise-wide Linux implementation, you need an infrastructure that's specifically designed to respond dynamically to the fluctuating needs of an agile enterprise. With Linux applications running on an HP BladeSystem infrastructure, you get all of this- and so much more.

Organizations want to use Linux as an enabler to get to a lower cost, higher-performing platform. The new c-class BladeSystem platform is the most cost effective platform for the deployment of Linux-based infrastructures.

Featured TCO WhitePaper

Savings of Linux on Blades eclipses SUN

Linux The Robert Frances Group's total cost of ownership (TCO) calculation measures four drivers of cost - including hardware, software, labor and overhead - and factors in growth in the number of server infrastructure from deployment to one year after deployment, and then a static number of devices thereafter. The Linux on HP BladeSystem solution had the lowest TCO in all cost categories, with hardware acquisition providing the largest cost advantage.
