» HP Onboard Administrator

The BladeSystem c7000 enclosure provides all the power, cooling, and I/O infrastructure needed to support modular server, interconnect, and storage components today and throughout the next several years. The enclosure is 10U high and holds up to 16 server and/or storage blades plus optional redundant network and storage interconnect modules. It includes a shared, 5 terabit per second high-speed NonStop midplane for wire-once connectivity of server blades to network and shared storage. Power is delivered through a pooled-power backplane, and power input flexibility is provided with choices of single-phase, 3-Phase AC input, and -48V DC Input.

The new HP Single Phase AC Intelligent Power Module together with HP Intelligent PDUs and HP Platinum power supplies enables Intelligent Power Discovery, which automatically maps servers to their power source, verifies power redundancy, and makes sure everything is hooked up correctly, saving time and eliminating errors.

The BladeSystem c7000 enclosure is bundled with HP Insight Control that provides essential server management and enables you to fully utilize the management capability built into your HP ProLiant servers. The unbeatable combination of HP ProLiant with Insight Control delivers the best managed servers in the industry.
