P offers a complete portfolioo help you build the perfectfrastructure for your business
HP BladeSystem: A smarter way tobuild an infrastructureFor 40 years, infrastructures were built the same wayLots of boxes, connected with lots of wires, maintainedby lots of people
Universally, whether the infrastructure is large or small,four infrastructure problems emerge:
Cost: High cost to buy, even higher costs to runand maintain
Time: Low productivity, downtime, and slow reactionto new opportunities
Change: Inflexible and hard-wired systems withcomplex processes and multiple people involved
Energy: Inefficient, power-hungry systems that createrising electricity costs and air conditioning bills
The HP BladeSystem addresses these challenges byconsolidating everything you need in an IT infrastructurefrom the start, before it grows out of control
Your technology infrastructure needs are as unique
as your business We know there is no such thing asa one-size-fits-all solution That is why HP gives youchoices to put blades to work for your business fromthe desktop to the data center
We dont believe you should compromise the trustedtechnologies just to gain the advantages of bladesThat is why HP BladeSystem components have thesame features as the server, storage, and networkcomponents you rely on today, only repackaged intoa simplified, more cost-effective design
The biggest difference between blade architectures
and those based on traditional servers is how they arebuilt and managed We make sure you can run thesame applications and operating systems you wanttoday and tomorrowconnect with everything in yourenvironment now and never sacrifice on performance,reliability, or efficiency
One box, full of possibilitiesHP BladeSystem is an infrastructure in a box Withit, you can build a variety of business technologysolutions that are more affordable, take less time tomaintain, use less power, and are ready to grow with
you It is simply a better infrastructure to quickly deliverquality services to your business
With a versatile, all-in-one design, you have what youneed to build and maintain your infrastructure fromstart to finish Inside, you can choose from thousandsof applications on a variety of operating systems witha combination of server and storage components and
a choice of the most popular networking brands astandards, including Ethernet, Fibre Channel, direcconnect SAS, and InfiniBand
We build in the networking to help you decreasethe number of cables by up to 94 percent1 We ada smarter power and cooling system to help yousave more than 47 percent on power compared totraditional rack infrastructures without sacrificingfeatures or performance, as well as integratedsystem management tools that can speed server
administrationreducing deployment times by upto 50 percent And we include an interface andsoftware that help you at every stepso one perscan do the job of many, with less effort
And when you are ready, our worldwide communof business technology experts and partners are hto help you build the ideal solution and support plthat is just right for you We integrate the infrastruessentials inside the BladeSystem so that before it arrives at your door, we do a lot of the hard workyou would have had to do on your own to deliverbest business results
These eight easy steps are what you need toconsider when building your ideal BladeSysteminfrastructure solution
Step 1: Choose your operating environment
Step 2: Choose your server blades
Step 3: Choose your storage infrastructure
Step 4: Choose your interconnects
Step 5: Choose your BladeSystem enclosure
Step 6: Choose your infrastructure managementsoftware
Step 7: Choose your power and coolingconfigurations
Step 8: Choose your services
We also provide pre-integrated infrastructure solutbased on the BladeSystem modular architecture FIntegrity NonStop BladeSystem and High PerformaCluster Platforms to HP Workstation and Desktopsolutions, HP is applying the power of blades to a
variety of application and industry-specific challencustomized to your requirements

Active Cool fans Both high airflow and high pressure are delivered in a small size that can scale to meet future cooling needs This technology provides the
ability to optimize airflow, reduce power draw, and improve acoustic performance for any server blade configuration
Parallel redundant scalableenclosure cooling (PARSEC) design
A hybrid model for cooling combines the best of local and centralized cooling in a single system to offer more effective airflow and cooling foall servers Server blades get more cooling airflow where it is needed most and use less power than traditional rack servers
Instant thermal monitoring A real-time view of heat, power, and cooling data is provided If the enclosures thermal load increases, the Onboard Administrators ThermalLogic feature instructs the fan controllers to increase fan speeds to accommodate the additional demand Even better, it works in reverse,using all the features of Thermal Logic to keep fan and system power at the lowest level possible Onboard Administrator monitors the thermalconditions on the hardware in real time, without a delay for a polling cycle
Power pooled for true N+Npower redundancy
All the power in the enclosure is provided as a single pool that any blade can access, providing increased flexibility when configuring thepower in the system so that customers can choose what level of redundancy with which to operate Because this power design has no zones, ifacilitates both N+N and N+1 power modes, which future-proofs the enclosure for higher power requirements, if needed
Dynamic power saver mode Power load shifting is provided for improved efficiency and reliability It improves power supply efficiency to provide real customer powersavings and, therefore, money savings When enabled through Onboard Administrator, the total enclosure power consumption is monitored inreal time and automatically adjusted with changes in demand
Power regulator The power regulator provides Integrated Lights-Out-controlled speed stepping for Intel x86, AMD x86, and Itanium 9100 series processors Th
feature improves server energy efficiency by giving CPUs full power for applications when they need it and reducing power when they do not
Power workload balancing Power workload balancing improves performance per watt used and uses the HP Power Regulator technology to manage power at theenclosure level, so that power usage stays within defined power caps Using power caps, system administrators can constrain the most BTUsper enclosure and rack to enable the enclosure to fit in an existing rack power envelope A simple power cap will allow devices to power onuntil power usage reaches the specified power cap and then will prevent any more devices from powering on Power workload balancing isavailable now for ProLiant blades and will be available in the future for Integrity blades
Add Dynamic Power Capping Safely limit power usage without impacting performance by capping peak instead of average power usage Remove risk to the electricalinfrastructure with fast-acting, hardware-based capping algorithm Reclaim more power with Blades by dynamically controlling power limitsbased on workload demand

Step 7: Choose your power and cooling configurationsave power every second with power configurations and redundancy levels to suit your needs
HP Thermal Logic technology makes it a reality
Do you ever wonder how you are going to deploymore servers in a data center that is running out of
power or cooling? The heat is on for you to deliverreduced costs while being held accountable to stayingenvironmentally friendly And the good news is thatHP BladeSystems have you covered You can reduceyour ecological and server footprint with HP blades
HP Thermal Logic technologies make it possibleto extend the life of your data center by findinguntapped resources and reclaiming them This takesthe guesswork out so that you can improve your datacenters potential
It is often said that you cannot control what youcannot measure And you can now do both using
HP Thermal Logic technology, which combinesenergy-efficient design with accurate measuremenand control without sacrificing performance
How does this benefit you? You can double thecapacity of HP blades servers in the data center wa combination of Dynamic Power Capping delivevia Insight Control, and the BL460c G6 If you arerunning different blades in your data center, you coptimize them as well
