We provide a full range of Hewlett-Packard servers and storage systems. We don’t stop there—we go beyond the ‘box-on-the-dock’ guys and design and build lightweight data centers, with the three components of a data center: communications, storage, and computing—pre-assembled into packages. We provide these packages—each with all the features of a Fortune 500-class data center—with very high-end monitoring—for a moderate amount of money. We can also combine these with Hewlett-Packard switches running IRF (Intelligent Resilient Fabric) to create totally nonstop data centers that can survive any number of disasters with little to no loss in availability.
We have prepared a series of cost-and-capacity optimized packages. Designing these packages in advance allows us to design in the best bang for the buck, so to speak. It also means that the implementation times are a lot shorter, since the design and integration work has already been done. One of these lightweight, optimized data centers can be installed in about a week, alongside your existing data center. Then it’s merely a matter of transferring the applications and data from the old to the new, at your own pace.
If you’re contemplating some sort of upgrade to your data center it’s highly likely that we can provide you with that upgrade and add a considerable level of additional reliability and resiliency for the same planned expense. So you can get something—a significant upgrade to the way you run data centers—for nothing.
HP Blades – HP Servers – HP SAN Storage
HP C7000 and BL460 blades
A BladeSystem c7000 enclosure holds up to 16 server and/or storage blades plus redundant network and storage switches. It includes a shared, multi-terabit high-speed mid-plane for wire-once connectivity of server blades to network and shared storage. Power is delivered through a pooled power backplane that ensures the full capacity of the redundant hot-plug power supplies is available to all blades
Each c7000 enclosure is built with the following functions:
- Up to 16 half-height and/or up to 8 full-height server blades and/or storage blades per enclosure.
- Up to 4 different interconnect fabrics (Ethernet, FC, IB, iSCSI, SAS, etc.) supported simultaneously within the enclosure.
- Choice of a single-phase, three-phase or a -48V DC power subsystem for flexibility in connecting to datacenter power.
- HP Thermal Logic technology for lower power consumption and airflow.
- Four (4) or Ten (10) Active Cool 200 fans as standard. For redundancy and improved power consumption and acoustics; additional Active Cool 200 Fan kits can be added for a maximum of 10 fans.
- Redundant hot-plug cooling, redundant hot-plug power supplies, redundant connections, redundant interconnect modules, optional redundant BladeSystem Onboard Administrator management modules.
- Lowest cost of ownership.
- Full AC redundancy - with no power zones.
The HP ProLiant BL460c G7 blade server is a great choice – it provides greater 2P x86 server blade density without compromise and maximum power-efficiency with flexibility and choice. This basic server blade covers 80% of blade server needs which is why we recommend it.
HP P4300 iSCSI SAN
HP P4000 G2 SANs, representing a virtualized pool of storage resources, deliver enterprise SAN functionality that enhances virtual environments, simplifies management, and reduces costs. Easy to deploy, to increase and to maintain, HP P4000 G2 SANs ensure that critical business data remain available. The innovative approach to storage provides a unique data protection level across the entire SAN, reducing vulnerability without driving up costs the way traditional SANs can.
Storage needs are changing in light of server virtualization, data growth, business continuity demands and cost pressures.
Looking for storage that meets these goals and can be added easily into your infrastructure? HP P4000 G2 SAN Solutions are proven for virtual servers, client virtualization, database, email and business applications. With a pay-as-you-grow, all-inclusive pricing model (3 year support included) and intuitive storage management, this SAN is perfect for the budget-minded. Do room for growth, high availability and disaster recovery seem out of reach? P4000 G2 SANs scale capacity and performance linearly without incurring downtime or performance bottlenecks.
We avoid expensive upgrades. P4000 G2 SANs eliminate single points of failure across the SAN and offer application data high availability, reducing risks without driving up costs. Reservation-less thin provisioning substantially increases your storage utilization and thus reduces costs.

HP servers and balanced architecture
HP designs cost-competitive, power-efficient servers that use a balanced architecture to address performance requirements and provide value. HP servers achieve a balanced architecture through superior engineering of fundamental elements such as mechanical infrastructure, power, cooling, processor, memory, I/O devices, storage, boot, networking, and interconnecting components. By designing a balanced architecture, HP ensures that all subsystems can be used effectively under a broad range of applications and workloads. For example, increasing memory capacity asymmetrically will not increase performance as effectively as distributing the same amount of memory across processors and IO devices. Inefficient memory distribution yields diminishing returns on power consumption and cost. A virtual machine (VM), for example, benefits from memory closely coupled to the processor responsible for that VM. Furthermore, a server needs to have appropriate levels of I/O bandwidth and CPU capabilities to ensure that memory can be used effectively by every VM.
