Publisher’s description

For organizations that are weighing the choice between deploying a large number of servers, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analyses favor blade server systems over rack-optimized server systems for reductions in both capital and operating expenses. Blade server systems are all about exploiting the economies of scale when deploying servers in volume. IDC believes that the HP BladeSystem c-Class is an important new platform for IT organizations to evaluate when weighing the relative TCO associated with building out server and infrastructure resources. With next-generation HP Thermal Logic technology to reduce energy consumption and improve cooling efficiency, the HP BladeSystem c-Class helps to alleviate power consumption limitations that are emerging in some datacenters.
