  World's first virtualization blade. A Guided Tour


September 2, 2008 Announcements
Today's server blades simply aren't optimized for virtualization. So we built one for you that is. The ProLiant BL495c virtualization blade helps you remove bottlenecks to virtual server performance by packing two-times more memory slots and more network connections per server than other two processor server blades.

Combined with Insight software, HP shared storage and cool, solid state drives, the BL495c helps you build an infrastructure tailor-made for virtualization.
