HP Integrity Blades are now fully integrated with the Industry’s number one blade infrastructure using the c-Class enclosure. This means that you have the ability to mix and match HP Integrity, HP ProLiant, and HP StorageWorks blades within the same BladeSystem c-Class enclosure. This provides flexibility to grow as your business demands change without the need for several different enclosures saving space and management time.
These new HP Integrity blades—the BL860c i2, BL870c i2, and BL890c i2—offer 2.5x the compute density compared to rack servers:
- Mix and match any blades in one enclosure – New and existing Integrity and ProLiant server blades, and HP Storageworks blades can be installed within the same enclosure, all managed under a single pane of glass.
- Blade Link redefines blade scaling – Combine multiple blades to scale up 2-. 4-, and 8-socket blades with half the footprint for half the price.
- Increased bandwidth with HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 – For increased networking scalability and wire-once connectivity with up to a 20x increased in network bandwidth.
- Built-in resiliency – Intel Itanium Processor 9300 series provides 2x better reliability than industry volume processors through features such as Cache Safe Technology; at memory level, double-chip spare provides 17x higher memory reliability than single-chip spare.
- HP Insight Dynamics allow you to adjust to business demands – Advanced infrastructure management software that allows you to instantly adjust to dynamic business demands, and provision and modify a complex infrastructure in minutes; it includes integrated infrastructure design and automated provisioning, capacity planning, rebalancing, and disaster recover / failover capability.
- Longevity and investment protection – A committed CPU roadmap with no requirement to recompile applications throughout three generations.
