The HP BladeSystem c3000 Platinum Enclosure brings new capabilities to HP BladeSystem. The c3000 targets three separate market segments: 1) remote sites needing between 2 and 8 server blades; 2) mid-sized companies with between 3 and 100 servers; and 3) enterprise accounts with special datacenter requirements, such as DC power, or very limited rack power and cooling capacity. Similar to the c7000, the Intelligent Management through the Onboard Administrator gives you complete control of your bladed infrastructure. A multi-terabit backplane ensures that the c3000 Enclosure can support today's Gigabit networks with an easy migration to tomorrow's 10 Gigabit solutions.
Simple to Manage, Easy to Control.
The HP BladeSystem c3000 Platinum Enclosure goes beyond just servers. It integrates server, storage (NAS or iSCSI), networking, power/cooling, and management into a single solution that can be deployed anywhere. With demanding workloads and rising complexities, the Intelligent Infrastructure technologies such as Platinum Power Supplies, Intelligent Power Module and PDU have enhanced the foundation for converged infrastructure. With Onboard Administrator, iLO remote management, and HP Insight Control you can manage your servers and take complete control regardless of the state of the server Operating System. Easy setup and management using tools you're used to, such as a local DVD drive for SmartStart software deployment, and a local KVM interface for local rack-based KVM integration.
Change Ready IT That Can Grow and Flex with your needs.
Pre-wired and pre-configured, the c3000 Platinum Enclosure can easily implement a new server blade, simply as just plugging it in. Going beyond just virtual servers, the c3000 Platinum Enclosure allows you to virtualize your network, storage, and power infrastructure so you can reduce costs while protecting your business assets against disasters. HP Insight Control is essential infrastructure management that unlocks the management capabilities built into HP ProLiant servers. Insight Control delivers powerful capabilities that enable one to proactively manage ProLiant server health either physical or virtual.
Reduce Up-front Capital and Ongoing Management Costs.
Costs less than equivalent rack-mounted servers (at 3 servers or more). Use up to 30% less power and 40% less space when compared to equivalent 1U rack mount servers. Deploy anywhere with a choice of UPS's, PDU's and wall outlet power, as well as a choice of low-line or high-line AC Power supplies. Optimize power efficiency with HP Dynamic Power Saver to place unused power supplies in standby. Provide flexibility in deploying into non-datacenter environments, such as high ambient temperatures, low-line, or high-line power outlets.
