The built in functionality, coupled with HP’s Insight Manager Data Centre Edition, address these key issues: Power Management: The HP C class blade has built in Power and Thermal Management tools. Fans and power supplies are regulated according to the load on each server so the enclosure is never drawing any more power than it needs. Connectivity: The wide range of interconnects available can dramatically reduce the number of cables for both fibre and networking. This results in a tidier data centre that is easier to manage. Server Management: Insight Manager Data Centre Edition includes tools to update patches and firmware across a number of servers at once using a remote console. Additional tools are available to migrate servers from other hardware and to convert physical servers into virtual servers. Click here to visit the HP Blade Section of our reference library.
