HP has unveiled the BladeSystem c-Class with innovations in virtualization, power and cooling, and system management capabilities that can reduce both operational and capital expenditure costs by 46 percent in a typical data centre implementation.
With the new design, an average enterprise data center can realize over a three-year period: system acquisition cost savings of up to 41 percent; data centre facilities cost savings of up to 60 percent; and initial system set-up time cost savings of up to 96 percent.
The new HP BladeSystem 4Gb/s Fibre Channel SAN switches and the industry’s first redundant, embedded 4Gb/s Fibre Channel HBA reduce the cost of SAN connectivity to HP BladeSystem by more than 40 percent while providing highly available, redundant connection to existing SANs. The switches also reduce the number of Fibre Channel cables required by up to 60 percent.
