Hewlett-Packard has expanded its blade server line with a four-socket Itanium-based model.The HP Integrity BL870c fits into the company's C7000 and C3000 chassis, the latter of which is aimed at small businesses or the remote sites of larger companies. The new blade server can house up for four "Montvale" dual-core Itanium chips, up to 96 GB of memory and up to four hot-plug SAS hard drives.
"HP's decision to port the Itanium to its blades is wonderful because I can now talk to my customers about a total solution and about which is the right blade for the job," Dave Butler, president of Enterprise Computing Solutions and an HP channel partner, told ChannelWeb.
HP also expanded its Solution Blocks tools to its Itanium-based blade servers. Solution Blocks are a series of preconfigured, pretested configurations aimed at getting the hardware and software deployed for specific applications as quickly as possible.ChannelWeb
