A BladeSystem c7000 enclosure holds up to 16 server and/or storage blades plus redundant network and storage switches. It includes a shared, multi-terabit high-speed mid-plane for wire-once connectivity of server blades to network and shared storage. Power is delivered through a pooled power backplane that ensures the full capacity of the redundant hot-plug power supplies is available to all blades.

Each c7000 enclosure is built with the following functions:

• Up to 16 half-height and/or up to 8 full-height server blades and/or storage blades per enclosure.
• Up to 4 different interconnect fabrics (Ethernet, FC, IB, iSCSI, SAS, etc.) supported simultaneously within the enclosure.
• Choice of a single-phase, three-phase or a -48V DC power subsystem for flexibility in connecting to datacenter power.
• HP Thermal Logic technology for lower power consumption and airflow.
• Four (4) or Ten (10) Active Cool 200 fans as standard. For redundancy and improved power consumption and acoustics; additional Active Cool 200 Fan kits can be added for a maximum of 10 fans.
• Redundant hot-plug cooling, redundant hot-plug power supplies, redundant connections, redundant interconnect modules, optional redundant BladeSystem Onboard Administrator management modules.
• Lowest cost of ownership.
• Full AC redundancy - with no power zones.

An BladeSystem Onboard Administrator management module is built in to the enclosure with the following functions:

• Robust, multiple enclosure setup and control.
• Reports asset and inventory information for the devices in the enclosure.
• Reports thermal and power information, including real-time actual power usage per server and per enclosure.
• Front-mounted Insight Display for easy management within the datacenter.
• Integrated access to all server blade iLOs from a single cable.
• Provides integrated access to interconnect bay device management ports from the single BladeSystem Onboard Administrator cable.
• Single sign-on capability for all devices in the enclosure
• Role-based security locally and/or with LDAP directory services.
• Provides a wizard-based initial setup process for easy configuration.

A BladeSystem c7000 enclosure provides the following benefits:

• With local and remote hardware management integrated across the solution, one full enclosure can be managed as easily as one server.
• Scalable: Management and network interconnects extend scalability beyond a single enclosure, allowing resources to be pooled and shared across multiple enclosures.
• Investment protection: Accommodates multiple server and network designs in one enclosure.
• Lower costs per server, in comparison to rack-mounted servers
• Lower power consumption, in comparison to rack-mounted servers.
• Lower airflow requirements, in comparison to rack-mounted servers
  

For customers that need a smaller system the c3000 is the perfect solution. Supporting up to 8 blades and 4 interconnects the c3000 enclosure provides and ideal solution for Small and Medium businesses and remote sites for more information refer to the c3000 QuickSpecs at: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12790_div/12790_div.html

Delivering best-in-class performance, choice and reliability on AMD Opteron™, Intel® Xeon® and Intel® Itanium 2® processors for Windows, Linux, Solaris, or HP-UX based servers; the HP portfolio of server blades supports a variety of application requirements for scale-out architectures.

Direct attached storage
The SB40c Storage Blade delivers direct attached storage for c-Class servers, with support for up to six hot plug small form factor (SFF) SAS or SATA hard disk drives. The enclosure backplane provides a PCI Express connection to the adjacent c-Class server blade and enables high performance storage access without any additional cables. The SB40c Storage Blade features an onboard Smart Array P400 controller with 256 MB battery-backed write cache, for increased performance and data protection.

Shared storage
Use HP LeftHand P4000 Virtual SAN Appliance (VSA) software to turn the SB40c into an iSCSI SAN for use by all severs in the enclosure and any server on the network. HP LeftHand VSA software is installed in a virtual machine on a VMware ESX host server adjacent to the SB40c. HP LeftHand P4000 VSA turns the SB40c into a scalable and robust iSCSI SAN, featuring, storage clustering for scalability, Network RAID for storage failover, thin provisioning, snapshots, remote replication, and cloning. Expand capacity within the same enclosure or to other BladeSystem enclosures by adding additional SB40c Storage Blades and HP LeftHand VSA licenses. http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/12587_div/12587_div.html

The HP SB1760c is an LTO-4 Ultrium, 1.6 TB capacity on a single cartridge (2:1 compression), 576 GB/hr performance (2:1 compression), 128 MB buffer size, WORM capability, AES 256-bit hardware data encryption capability.

Tape blades are ideal for HP BladeSystem c-Class customers who need a data protection solution but are not connected into a Storage Area Network (SAN). They provide direct attach data protection for the adjacent server and network backup protection for all other data within the enclosure. The HP tape blades are the industry's first bladed tape drives and are developed exclusively for the BladeSystem c-Class enclosures.

HP Dynamic Power Capping is the industry's first and only power capping solution that lets you reclaim trapped power and cooling capacity without putting electrical infrastructure or server performance at risk. The enclosure Dynamic Power Cap will be shared amongst all of the installed devices and individual server caps will be changed to match the server load. This will optimize the performance of the servers while ensuring that the enclosure stays below the cap value.

Rack 10000 G2 series cabinets

The HP BladeSystem Power Sizer helps in sizing the power infrastructure needed for a HP BladeSystem solution. This sizer enables effective planning for the power consumption and heat load of the BladeSystem at its site.

The sizer enables you to:

• Select the type and number of components within each Blade Server and Blade Enclosure.
• View the effect of component changes on the power consumption and heat loading.
• Review server loading and determine power supply and power subsystem requirements.
• Approximate electrical and heat load for facilities planning purposes.

The sizing estimate is based on component level power measurements for a system operating at very high enterprise application loads.

Values obtained from the BladeSystem Power Sizer are estimates for planning purposes only. Actual measured power consumption can be significantly lower or higher than the Power Sizer estimates. Actual power consumption varies with application type, application utilization, and ambient temperature.

The p-class BladeSystem and the c-Class BladeSystem solutions are supported in the BladeSystem Power Sizer.
