HP BladeSystem
The HP BladeSystem has been designed to do everything you could in a traditional server, but with the ease of management, power savings, and space saving features blade technology offers. On top of offering Intel, AMD, and Itanium chips in a single chassis, you can also utilize storage and tape blades. The servers come in two sizes; full height, and half height. As a rule of thumb, anything you could traditionally do with a DL360/365 or DL380/385 can be done with a half height blade. If a server requires a large memory footprint, 4 sockets, or a large amount of IO the full height blades should be chosen.
Scalar has the expertise in properly sizing blade server to ensure that the correct blade is mapped to the correct application.
