Hewlett-Packard is offering a new low-cost rack-mount server and blade as well as new CRM tools.

Hewlett-Packard, which has been building up a line-up of inexpensive hardware and software directed at businesses with limited IT resources, is now launching a pair of low-cost servers to add to the portfolio.

The x86-based hardware includes a new blade server, the ProLiant BL260c G5, and the ProLiant DL120—a 1U (1.75-inch), single-socket rack-mount system. Both systems offer a number of low-cost configurations, including a choice of Intel processors that range from the newer Xeon 5200 and 5400 series microprocessors down to the older Celeron and Pentium chips.

Very cool, these new low-cost configuration servers might be ideal for a range of solutions or customers. Whether it’s a server for a specific use (DC/mail server for a small business), or a low-cost unit for that development blade farm, the low-cost option has to be a good thing for the end user. I’ll need to check them out. The DL120G5 quick specs are here, the BL260c G5 quick specs are here.
