IDC calls it: blades are server of choice in strategic initiatives

Last month, IDC issued a press release that confirms what end users 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 organizations are using blades for virtualization and private cloud environments. 


 HP has one of the most comprehensive bladed portfolios in the market – BladeSystems designed for datacenter applications, mega memory for virtualization, two server in one enclosure blades for dense computing environments, workstation blades for client virtualization, 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 virtualization 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 speaking of networking, what could be the largest networking offering ever amassed – products, services, solutions and support – is now all available from HP. 



More to come as HP Converged Infrastructure provides the blueprint for the data center of the future.
