IDC “blades are server of choice in strategic initiatives”

Last month, IDC issued a press release that confirms what organisations have known for some time now: blades are becoming the dynamic platform for the data center of the future.  The survey found that the majority of IT organisations are using blades for virtualisation and private cloud environments.

HP has one of the most comprehensive bladed portfolios in the market – BladeSystems designed for datacenter applications, mega memory for virtualisation, two server in one enclosure blades for dense computing environments, workstation blades for client virtualisation, Integrity blades for mission critical computing and just about any type of storage blades and data storage for any size business.

The survey also found that more enterprise customers will do virtualisation on blades than any other platform.

To help make all this work better together, HP offers management software tools to improve IT staff efficiency while reducing expenses and Virtual Connect to simplify networking.

And this is just the icing on the cake, we have a whole world of opportunity with  HP Converged Infrastructure which provides the blueprint for the data center of the future.
