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 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

With Matrix, up to a thousand servers can beconfigured and managed as a single domain,reducing the staff time required for routine tasksIntegrated Virtual Connect technology, only fromHP, lets you provision server network and storageconnections upfront for your entire environment Byeliminating coordination between server, storage,and network administrators for everyday tasks, youradministrators save time and you save money

Flexible architecture for shared services, integratedby designThe modular, standards-based HP BladeSystemis integrated by design, delivering efficiencies ofstandardization without sacrificing flexibility

Matrix runs any application workload out of the boxintegrates seamlessly with existing storage and netfabrics and into most IT service management platfoNaturally, it works with the leading virtualizationplatforms from VMware and Microsoft, as well as

Included are best practice templates for commonapplications such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Exchaand SharePoint, so youre up and running in no tim

With BladeSystem Matrix you can easily get startewithout risk Pools of compute, storage, virtualfabrics, and power and cooling can be purchasedand delivered as chunks of capacity as large asa rack at a time Matrix is drop shipped to yourdoor where it is fully installed and integrated intoyour data center by our experts The BladeSystemMatrix Starter Kit includes all software, networkingand infrastructure for up to 16 blade servers withthe option of a StorageWorks EVA4400 SAN, orconnect to your existing SAN The Starter Kit is idfor evaluation or to tackle a server consolidationproject while familiarizing with the BladeSystemMatrix environment Matrix Expansion Kits let youcapacity to your Matrix environment as needed
