Blade Infrastucture
Twin Technology believe Blade infrastructure especially the HP c-Class BladeSystem is superbly designed to take advantage of virtualisation technology.
By utilising HP Proliant BL460c half-height servers, up-to sixteen servers can be installed within a c-Class BladeSystem enclosure. Each half-height server keeps the same flexibility, power management and system control as full-height blade, and with support for hot-plug hard drives, large memory capacity , multiple expansion slots and the latest generation of processors the Proliant BL460c is an optimal choice for virtual infrastructure.
The HP c-Class Bladesystem enclosure brings additional benefits to traditional rack-and-stack approach, these benefits are:
Cost Savvy
HP BladeSystem features a consolidated design that is both more affordable to buy and more efficient to own than conventional infrastructure. Operations are streamlined through standardized components and management interfaces, yielding long term efficiencies unattainable with scattered systems. By pooling and sharing power, cooling, and network; and eliminating the need for other components, the HP BladeSystem can measurably reduce acquisition costs and increase utilization.
Change Ready
HP BladeSystem brings agility to IT. Blade servers, storage, and other modular components can be easily added or removed without having to power down making it easier for IT to respond to business requirements. HP BladeSystem c-Class is an efficiently designed and integrated system that makes the most of every square inch and that can be setup or reconfigured easily. HP provides a common and intuitive interface to monitor and control all HP BladeSystem resources - server, storage, network, power and cooling.
Energy thrifty
HP BladeSystem offers one screen to see and understand the power consumption, heat output, and cooling capacity of your HP BladeSystem environment. The Onboard Administrator monitors the infrastructure, advises repairs, and warns of impending power and cooling issues. Among the many features that make HP BladeSystem the ideal choice for energy conscious environments:
- Cooling-optimized enclosure and blades - Redundant and scalable, HP PARSEC cooling architecture dissipates heat quickly, with lower CFM levels needed, in any configuration, enabling denser configurations.
- HP Active Cool Fans - Patented fans, designed to create tropical-storm winds, automatically deliver required cooling to match changing demands and environmental conditions at power levels far lower than traditional fans.
- HP Modular Cooling System - When added to an HP BladeSystem, this water-cooled rack technology triples the cooling capacity of a standard rack without increasing the heat load of your data center.
- Dynamic Power Saver - Automatically shifts power load for maximum power supply efficiency and reliability.
- Power/Thermal Regulator - Preset power and thermal thresholds ensure that your environment will self-regulate to maintain acceptable consumption output and thermal conditions.
- Future-proof power strategy - Power supplies designed in concert with Intel® and AMDTM processor roadmaps keep pace with the evolution of your computing environment.
Time Smart
If you are connected, HP BladeSystem offers total resource control from anywhere at any time. Simplified provisioning and management in a virtual environment mean transparency when moving server resources between physical and virtual machines. The consolidated nature of HP BladeSystem allows you to make the most of your IT resources. Use HP BladeSystem to centralize your most knowledgeable IT staff, giving them the ability to quickly leverage each other and to monitor, manage and control remote sites from one location.
