HP BladeSystem Overview
HP BladeSystem OverviewHP BladeSystem Overview
HP BladeSystem Overview
As server, storage and network technologies have changed; traditional rack-mounted infrastructure
solutions have generated increased complexity of both infrastructure management and physical
datacenter deployment.
HP BladeSystem is the evolution of the entire rack-mounted infrastructure. A BladeSystem reduces costs
and simplifies the management, building, and maintenance of the infrastructure behind your multi-server
environment. It consolidates and repackages all the supporting infrastructure elements-compute,
storage, network, and power into a single platform that can accelerate the integration and optimization
of your data center.
With the flexibility to scale from a single enclosure holding up to 16 blades, to a rack containing 4
enclosures holding up to 64 blades, the c-Class infrastructure is designed to meet the needs of today's
businesses.
An HP BladeSystem c-Class infrastructure is made up of several components:
ProLiant and Integrity Server blades for Windows, Linux, and HP UX.
Choice of AMD or Intel processors, including the latest dual-core processors for 32-bit and 64-bit
applications.
HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure that provides connectivity, power, and cooling options. The cClass enclosure is designed for full redundancy and high availability. Redundant power, cooling,
enclosure management, and interconnect modules are part of the standard enclosure design.
Onboard Administrator module which provides a single point of control for intelligent
management of the entire enclosure.
Insight Display powered by the Onboard Administrator provides local management through an
LCD display conveniently sited on the front of the system.
Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, iSCSI, and other interconnect choices
A power subsystem that provides hot-plug redundant power modes and Dynamic Power Saving
mode, which uses up to 22% less power than traditional rack-mounted servers.
PARSEC (Parallel, Redundant, Scaleable, Enclosure Cooling) architecture: for maximum cooling
that consumes less power and reduces datacenter noise.
Zoned cooling that allows only those fans that are required to speed up, reducing power
consumption noise and airflow through the system.
Direct-attach storage blades, tape blades, or future shared storage blades, which will provide
block-based shared storage capacity for the server blades in the enclosure.

c7000 Enclosure
c7000 Enclosurec7000 Enclosure
c7000 Enclosure
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 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 or a three-phase power subsystem - for flexibility in connecting to
datacenter power.
PARSEC enclosure design - Parallel, redundant and scalable cooling and
airflow design
Four (4) or Six (6) Active Cool fans as standard. For redundancy and improved power
consumption and acoustics; additional Active Cool Fan kits can be added for a maximum of 10
fans
Fully redundant design-redundant interconnections between servers and interconnect modules; a
mid-plane with no active components; redundant cooling using hot-plug Active Cool fans; hotplug power supplies.
Best performance per watt - lower wattage per server blade, in comparison to rack-mounted
servers
Full AC redundancy - with no power zones.
Redundant Onboard Administrator management modules (optional active-standby design)
An Onboard Administrator management module is built in to the enclosure with the following functions:
Robust, multiple enclosure setup and control.
Reports asset and inventory information for the devices in the enclosure.
Reports thermal and power information, including real-time actual power usage per server and
per enclosure.
Front-mounted Insight Display for easy management within the datacenter.
Integrated access to all server blade iLOs from a single cable.
Provides integrated access to interconnect bay device management ports from the single Onboard
Administrator cable.
Single sign-on capability for all devices in the enclosure
Role-based security locally and/or with LDAP directory services.
Provides a wizard-based initial setup process for easy configuration.
A BladeSystem c7000 enclosure provides the following benefits:
With local and remote hardware management integrated across the solution, one full enclosure
can be managed as easily as one server.
Scalable: Management and network interconnects extend scalability beyond a single enclosure,
allowing resources to be pooled and shared across multiple enclosures.
Investment protection: Accommodates multiple server and network designs in one enclosure.
Lower costs per server, in comparison to rack-mounted servers
Lower power consumption, in comparison to rack-mounted servers
