HP is targeting what is calls the “global 500,000†mid-sized (100-999 employees) companies with a series of new services and products, led by ‘Shorty,’ a compact blade system that the company said reduces the cost and expertise required to deploy applications.
The new HP BladeSystem c3000 rack-based version is 10.5-inches-high and holds up to eight 2 to 4 processor Xeon, Opteron or Itanium blades, and plugs into a standard 110- or 220-volt socket. A tower version of the c3000, expected to be available early next year, requires about two square feet of floor space.
Reading about them, they do sound very cool, I love the ability to choose the processor combinations, the Xeon, Opteron or Itanium blades, and the fact it uses the standard socket for power, will be interesting to read what functionality the blade solution has in terms of storage and connectivity, we’ll need to wait and see.
