| A wired-once, virtualised architecture providing ultimate server flexibility while eliminating time-intensive management processes. |
How it works |
|
|
HP Virtual Connect Architecture modules feature a five-terabyte midplane with eight high-performance interconnect bays in back, full redundancy and the potential to deliver 80GB/sec through each bay.
LAN and SAN connections are available to a pool of up to 64 servers, allowing you to define a server's I/O connections and then independently manage blade servers and their connectivity.
Connections and configurations between server blades and the LAN and SAN can then be deployed at the click of a button, and migrated to another server bay instantly all without disturbing the LAN or the SAN settings or administrators.
|
|
| Built-in thermal management capabilities and controls to help you maximise system performance without exceeding your power and cooling capacity. |
| A secure, integrated operating environment that allows you to manage and monitor your infrastructure while helping to analyse future needs. |
How it works |
|
|
|
| Management module reduces setup time for a single enclosure of blades by enabling you to configure and manage server, storage, network and power settings locally through an industry-first interactive LCD panel, or remotely through an easy-to-use web interface. |
|
|
|
| Integrated systems-management portfolio designed to let you provision, monitor, update, virtualise and migrate the HP BladeSystem across multiple enclosures, even multiple data centres. |
|
|
|
Management processor within each blade server delivers total control irrespective of OS state through virtual KVM for remote administration, virtual media for remote, single server deployment and software updates, and remote power control.
