"With the Insight Rapid Deployment software, deploying a physical server or a VMware ESX host is as simple as dragging the appropriate image or script to the right blade. I can even pre-provision images to empty slots in the enclosure if I need to. I’ve actually run some numbers, and with BladeSystem and RDP our deployment costs have been reduced up to 65%."

"Deployment is much faster. We’re able to take our highly trained technical staff out of racking and stacking, allowing them to concentrate on things that are more productive and aligned with our business goals." Prior to using the HP BladeSystem and HP Insight Rapid Deployment software (RDP), servers were deployed in six hours. But according to Keselring and his staff, RDP has helped them reduce server build-time across the board by more than 75%. "Installation of a new server is as easy as sliding a blade into an
existing enclosure. You’re not standing in front of the machine feeding it media. While you’re building multiple machines, sometimes 10 to 12 at the same time, you’re also on the phone or
generating reports."

"We saved space and power. We’re managing twice the number of servers with the same number of staff, and we’re deploying them remotely. The HP BladeSystem and HP software has allowed TMG to repurpose IT staff more efficiently. Prior to utilizing the HP Insight Rapid Deployment software, deployment would take TMG’s IT staff 4 or 5 hours per server; now it is done in about 30 minutes per server."
