Introducing the world’s first virtualization blade. Take a guided tour.

BladeSystem is designed to share components between enclosures, making it fast and easy to create, customize and grow. You can add storage expansion and data protection without adding more cables or special management. And you can run your same business applications, trust the same HP server and storage components and connect to your same networks.

Listen to the podcast to hear how HP helps Pharmasset deploy maximum computing power within tightening space, power, cooling and administration-time requirements with HP ProLiant c-Class Server Blades in an HP BladeSystem c3000 enclosure.
