If you've been wrestling with how to lower your infrastructure costs and complexity without sacrificing enterprise-quality continuity, security, and efficiency, now is the time to add HP BladeSystem to your technology infrastructure.
HP has designed its BladeSystem portfolio with the midmarket in mind, with servers, storage and enclosures that are simple, flexible and efficient. The BladeSystem solution makes it easy to build a complete bladed infrastructure that is cost-effective and easy to manage.
Combined with the new Windows Server 2008, which introduces next-generation Web tools, built-in virtualisation technologies, and security and server management enhancements, the BladeSystem solution helps mid-sized businesses cut costs, improve performance of business-critical systems, and stretch IT resources.
Upgrade to Windows Servers 2008
HP BladeSystem solutions can run on Windows Server 2003, but if you migrate to Windows 2008, your business-critical systems will run faster, longer, more securely and with less downtime.
Windows Server 2008 gives users the ability to deliver rich web-based experiences efficiently and effectively, with improved administration and diagnostics, development and application tools, and lower infrastructure costs.
With its built-in server virtualisation technology, Windows Server 2008 enables multiple operating systems to run on a single physical machine as virtual machines; not just reducing hardware requirements but lowering power, cooling and management costs. It allows users to optimise their infrastructure and improve server availability.
This is also the most secure Windows Server ever. Its hardened operating system and security innovations, including Network Access Protection, Federated Rights Management and Read-Only Domain Controller, provide unprecedented levels of protection for users’ network, data and business.
