Using blade technology from ClearCube, NCP is bringing its operations into one centre in Croydon that will control the systems based in around 150 car parks spread across the UK. NCP estimates that the centralised system will give 99.9 percent reliability, as well as simplifying its IT operations.

The ClearCube systems will use 67 blade servers as well as “10 or 12″ in reserve, according to Neil Robson, the technology director for NCP. The systems will support all of NCP’s operations, including CCTV, digital displays and general administration. NCP has invested £1.2m in the new system and installation, of which around £300,000 is for the blades alone.

Excellent, the up time sounds fantastic, its always cool to see how blades are being used, by centralizing the technology they will be able to reduce administrations and bring real benefits of the blade platform in terms of scalability and reliability. Check out the article.
