HP BladeSystem Family - Critical Facilities Round Table

It’s a racked, stacked and wired world
The root cause of datacenter pain
The functionality of today’s datacenter is constrained by the form of their building
blocks and the processes required to manage them
Inflexible: Static and hardwired
Manually coordinated: Change requires too
many people and steps
Over-provisioned: Wasting power, cooling,
space, people and money
Managed 1 by 1: Processes
are unique, with unique tools
and inconsistency
Expensive: More expensive to own than to
build
Because of conventional IT’s limited form and processes, the potential to
improve the operational efficiency, cost and flexibility are limited
