HP has expanded the HP BladeSystem portfolio with an Integrity blade designed to handle memory-intensive data centre workloads while helping businesses lower costs, save energy and space, and decrease deployment time.

As the company’s first four-socket Integrity server blade, the HP Integrity BL870c combines the modular infrastructure and energy efficiency of HP BladeSystem with the business-critical capabilities of Integrity servers.

The new server can help businesses of all sizes realize power savings of up to 25 per cent. Space requirements also are reduced because 2.5 times as many BL870c server blades fit into the same space as a comparable rackmount configuration.(1)

To help take the guesswork out of building an Integrity blade solution, HP also has created Solution Blocks for its Integrity servers. These HP-tested configurations allow customers and resellers to quickly deploy business-critical applications on the HP BladeSystem.
