HP BladeSystem overview

With an unprecedented set of smart innovations, HP BladeSystem—including the new HP ProLiant Gen8 server family—provides the foundation of a self-aware and intelligent converged infrastructure. We’re talking about a cloud-ready infrastructure that can support allyourapplicationsonasingleplatform,withbothProLiantandIntegrityserverbladesanda range of storage and networking options. Architected for any workload from client to cloud, its modular, future-proof design takes advantage of proven innovations like Virtual Connect, IntelligentInfrastructure,andInfrastructureManagement.Anditcanbequicklyscaled,repurposed,andupgradedtofityourchangingbusinessneeds.

HP BladeSystem delivers real business results

HP BladeSystem is engineered to maximize every hour, watt, and dollar, saving up to 68 percent total cost of ownership1 over traditional infrastructures. Because the core infrastructure is shared,capitalcostscanbesignificantlylower.Bladessharepower,cooling,network,andstorageinfrastructureattheBladeSystemenclosurelevel.Sinceequipmentisnotneededforeach server, there is a dramatic reduction in power distribution units, power cables, LAN and SAN switches, connectors, adapters, and cables. And you can bring in the newest-generation technologies by simply changing the components that need to be changed.

Making routine infrastructure changes takes up to 90 percent2 less time with the wire-once connectivityonlyavailablewithHPVirtualConnect.VirtualConnectsimplifiesandconvergesyour server-edge connections, making server connections transparent to storage and networks. You can reduce server-edge infrastructure, like network interface cards, cables, and switches, by up to 95 percent.3

TakecontroloflimitedpowerresourceswithHPIntelligentInfrastructureandThermalLogictechnologyinsideHPBladeSystem.Infact,youcanincreasethecapacityofyourdatacenterwithout adding power infrastructure and reduce power costs by 36 percent4 vs. a traditional environment.HPIntelligentInfrastructureautomatesinventorymanagementandpowermonitoring to speed implementation and reduce operating expenses, while eliminating downtime caused by error-prone manual processes. HP Thermal Logic technology lets administrators dynamically track and control power limits based on workload demand within the BladeSystem enclosure, so you can reclaim over-provisioned power and cooling capacity without impacting performance. Together, they track location, power, and cooling to give you betterinsightacrossyourdatacenterforthehighestefficiencypossible.

HP BladeSystem Onboard Administrator is the built-in enclosure management processor, subsystem,andfirmwarebaseusedtosupporttheHPBladeSystemc-Classenclosuresandall the managed devices contained within them. Onboard Administrator provides a single point from which to perform management tasks on server blades or switches within the enclosure. Togetherwiththeenclosure’sHPInsightDisplay,theOnboardAdministratorhasbeendesignedfor both local and remote HP BladeSystem c-Class administration.

Thismoduleanditsfirmwareprovide:

•Wizardsforsimple,fastsetupandconfiguration

•Highly available and secure local or remote access to the HP BladeSystem infrastructure

•Security roles for server, network, and storage administrators

•Automated power and cooling of the enclosure

•Agentless device health and status

HP client virtualization solutionsToday’s workforce is global and mobile. Workers have new expectations for data and application delivery.Theywantseamlesscollaboration,eLearning,andunifiedcommunications(i.e.,instantmessaging and video conferencing) capabilities. They demand support for next-generation applications that can transform the way they work. And they want the ability to work from any location, at any time, using any device.

While this new work paradigm has distinct advantages—with increased productivity topping the list—it also presents new challenges. For example, managing a large distributed workforce is complex and time consuming. Security breaches are also a major concern, regardless of the end-point device being used.

HP delivers both enterprise and SMB reference architectures integrated with Citrix, Microsoft, and VMware software that explain how to:

•Provide secure access to applications and desktops by supporting hosted-shared, VDIdesktopsandapplicationvirtualization,whilealsooptimizingtheefficiencyoftheITinfrastructure.

•Improveefficiencyusingasingle,common,modular,standards-basedplatformlikeHP BladeSystem to support all types of workloads, from task workers to workstation-class graphics users.

•Speed the deployment of client virtualization solutions, enhance the worker experience, and boost productivity.

“How do we enable anywhere, anytime application and information delivery, while also ensuring the protection of corporate information and minimizing management?”

For many companies, the answer is to virtualize thedesktopenvironmentanddeployaflexibleworkstyle strategy with initiatives such as Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). BYOD enables workers to use their own smartphone, tablet, or laptop for business purposes, but with important improvements: device management and application delivery take place in the data center, notontheend-pointdevice.Thisapproachoffersmany advantages:

• Increasedworkerproductivityand empowerment

• Lower desktop costs

• Company information remains secure behind thecorporatefirewall,evenwhenanend-user

• Device is lost or stolen
