HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure

The HP BladeSystem c3000 Enclosure brings new capabilities to HP BladeSystem. Now available in either a Tower model or rack model, the c3000 targets three separate market segments: 1) remote sites needing between 2 and 8 server blades; 2) mid-sized companies with between 3 and 100 servers in their company; and 3) enterprise accounts with special datacenter requirements, such as DC power, or very limited rack power & cooling capacity. Similar to the c7000, the Intelligent Management through the Onboard Administrator gives you complete control of your bladed infrastructure. A multi-terabit backplane ensures that the c3000 Enclosure can support today's Gigabit networks with an easy migration to tomorrows 10 Gigabit solutions.
