BladeSystem c3000

The HP BladeSystem c3000 Platinum Enclosure brings new capabilities to HP BladeSystem. The c3000 targets three separate market segments: 1) remote sites needing between 2 and 8 server blades; 2) mid-sized companies with between 3 and 100 servers; and 3) enterprise accounts with special datacenter requirements, such as DC power, or very limited rack power and cooling capacity.

Similar to the c7000, the Intelligent Management through the Onboard Administrator gives you complete control of your bladed infrastructure. A multi-terabit backplane ensures that the c3000 Enclosure can support today's Gigabit networks with an easy migration to tomorrow's 10 Gigabit solutions.

What's New?

  • HP Intelligent Power Module and HP Intelligent PDU to automate power configuration and monitoring, verify power redundancy, and eliminate manual errors that can cause unplanned downtime
  • HP 1200W Platinum Hot Plug Power Supply (80 Plus certified) for improved efficiency, reducing power requirements per enclosure
 

Features

Simple to Manage, Easy to Control

  • The HP BladeSystem c3000 Platinum Enclosure goes beyond just servers. It integrates server, storage (NAS or iSCSI), networking, power/cooling, and management into a single solution that can be deployed anywhere.
  • With demanding workloads and rising complexities, the Intelligent Infrastructure technologies such as Platinum Power Supplies, Intelligent Power Module and PDU have enhanced the foundation for converged infrastructure.
  • With Onboard Administrator, iLO remote management, and HP Insight Control you can manage your servers and take complete control regardless of the state of the server Operating System.

  • Use up to 30% less power and 40% less space when compared to equivalent 1U rack mount servers
  • Deploy anywhere with a choice of UPS's, PDU's and wall outlet power, as well as a choice of low-line or high-line AC Power supplies
  • Optimize power efficiency with HP Dynamic Power Saver to place unused power supplies in standby
  • Provide flexibility in deploying into non-datacenter environments, such as high ambient temperatures, low-line, or high-line power outlets.
 

BladeSystem c7000

The BladeSystem c7000 enclosure provides all the power, cooling, and I/O infrastructure needed to support modular server, interconnect, and storage components today and throughout the next several years. The enclosure is 10U high and holds up to 16 server and/or storage blades plus optional redundant network and storage interconnect modules.

It includes a shared, 5 Tbps high-speed NonStop mid-plane for wire-once connectivity of server blades to network and shared storage. Power is delivered through a pooled-power backplane, and power input flexibility is provided with choices of single-phase, 3-Phase AC input, and -48V DC input.

What's New?

  • Increased power supply wattage and mid-plane bandwidth for demanding workloads - 2650W Platinum Hot Plug Power Supply - 40% increase with FDR InfiniBand support - 2x storage bandwidth with 16Gb FC
  • HP Intelligent Power Module and HP Intelligent PDU to automate power configuration and monitoring, verify power redundancy, and eliminate manual errors that can cause unplanned downtime
  • HP Intelligent Series Racks with Location Discovery Services automatically record the exact location of BladeSystem Platinum enclosures, eliminating error prone manual inventory tracking
