HP BladeSystem c-Class Integrity Server Blades

Integrity server blades feature unique HP Blade Link technology, which combines multiple blades to create 2-, 4-, and 8-socket systems, providing greater scalability and flexibility. In addition, HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 offers increased network scalability and configuration flexibility with up to a 20x increase in networking bandwidth. With wire-once connectivity, IT administrators can manage all subsequent rewiring virtually, significantly reducing their cabling. Plus, Integrity server blades offer double the performance in half the footprint, with built-in resiliency and less power consumption.2 You can mix and match HP Integrity, HP ProLiant, and HP Storage blades within the same enclosure—flexibility to grow as your business demands change.
