HP launches ‘world’s first blade server for 24/7 mission critical computing’

HP has introduced what it claims is the industry’s first high availability, fault-tolerant blade server. The Integrity NonStop NB50000c BladeSystem supports high transaction volumes and provides real-time response capabilities in a cost-effective design.

By combining the high availability features of HP Integrity NonStop with the cost, change, time and energy efficiencies of HP BladeSystem, the Integrity NonStop BladeSystem is “an ideal replacement platform for mainframe applications in industries such as finance, public sector and telecommunications”.

The NonStop operating environment offered on a standards-based blade design ensures the highest levels of reliability. Its fault-containment design protects data while error-recovery features eliminate downtime.

Key features and customer benefits of the new HP Integrity NonStop BladeSystem include:

* Double the processing power in half the physical footprint through multi-core technology and HP BladeSystem;

* Reduced administrative costs with enhanced system management tools such as HP Integrity Integrated Lights-Out 2 (iLO 2), HP Systems Insight Manager and the Onboard Administrator for HP BladeSystem;

* Patented 24/7 fault-tolerant software built on standard components for reduced cost of ownership.

The HP Integrity NonStop NB50000c BladeSystem is available today. For pricing information, please contact HP at +1 800 282 6672. More information on HP Integrity NonStop is available at www.hp.com/go/nonstop and more information on HP BladeSystem is available at www.hp.com/go/bladesystem
