All businesses, no matter how diversified they are, share common goals – they all want to grow, increase their revenue, slim down costs and improve their bottom line. Another common denominator is that they all link their lifeline on their IT infrastructure. Logically, this growth starts building up pressure on the infrastructure and they all seek a solution that solves their immediate needs and prepare for a long-term expansion plan. This solution needs to be a reliable and affordable solution that is easy to expand and easy to manage.
BladeServers were created precisely for this purpose. With HP BladeSystem you can build vital business solutions that are more affordable, take less time to maintain, use less power and are ready to grow with you. With its all-in-one design, you have the essential components to build, maintain and upgrade your infrastructure from start to finish. A BladeSystem is simply a smarter way to build an infrastructure that supports the vital applications your business requires – with fewer wires, lower electric bills and none of the headaches from the choices you have today. BladeSystem helps you plan for redundancy and recovery from the start and is combined with the best technology from across HP to make your unique BladeSystem not only easy to use, but also useful to you.
The term “BladeServers” is usually misunderstood and generally speaking does not ring a bell for anyone except IT people. However, the BladeServer concept is simple: they are compact, high density servers with their own processors and memory, but share common resources like networking connectivity, power and storage with other blade servers in a specifically designed enclosure. The whole concept of blades is that you can start building your networking elements by adding blades side by side like books in a bookshelf. The advances in technology has made all this possible by shrinking components to fit in smaller places. Nonetheless, given their size, BladeServers are full-blown servers equivalent in power to their racked or towered counterparts.
Things you can do with HP BladeSystem that you cannot do with traditional infrastructures: Deploy new servers and storage in minutes, wire your infrastructure once and change on the fly, cut time need for common maintenance tasks by 90 per cent, reduce power consumption up to 30 per cent without sacrificing applications performance, add shared storage and data protection solutions inside without adding cables, cut the number of cables by 94 per cent and provide high availability for every application at a negligible cost.
Megabyte is proud to have installed HP BladeSystems for a number of customers including Simonds Farsons Cisk, The Palace Victoria, Suncrest Hotel, Bank of Valletta and Global Capital.
