9. HP BladeSystem c-Class The best-run IT infrastructure out of the box HP innovations that solve the biggest cost drivers and change barriers of today’s data centers. Build IT Change-ReadyNew! HP Virtual Connect architecture Eliminating manual coordination across domains. Virtualization of I/O to wire once and change data center connections on the fly Build IT Energy-Thrifty New! HP Thermal Logic technology Dynamically adjust power and cooling to meet energy budgets The new, modular building block of next generation data centers. Build IT Time-SmartNew! HP Insight Control management New management delivers 10-fold improvements in administrator productivity

10. Similarities and differences between c7000 and c3000 • Same blades and network options • Run same OS and applications • Supports Virtual Connect, Thermal Logic, Insight Control • Both become killer platforms when combined with virtualization • Lowest total cost • 110V or 220V single phase power; Optional DC power (phase 2) • 8 blade bays; 4 high-speed network bays • DVD drive • Local KVM • Lowest cost per blade • 208V power – single & three phase power • 16 blade bays; 8 high-speed network bays

11. All-in-One infrastructure for storage, servers and everything else Right-sized to fit just right No special power or cooling required • Rack or tower • 4-8 storage or server blades • Built to be virtual • Plugs in the wall or UPS • Rated to 36oC • Save 30% on power, use less AC Zero-cable storage expansion and data protection Useful, hassle-free tools to manage your way • Just like regular servers or storage • KVM, DVD or remotely • Simple, single package software • Bladed tape • Bladed DAS • Bladed NAS • Bladed SAN

12. Standardize across multiple sites or grow with the business Small site infrastructure Central, data centerinfrastructure Small office Branch location Back-up site

13. No compromise compatibility • Run the same OS and business applications • Mix and match the same storage or server blades • Same useful LCD • Connect to your same networks and SAN • Rely on the same choice ofswitches and modules • HP Virtual Connect architecture • HP Insight Control management • HP Thermal Logic technology • HP NonStop midplane • Same Onboard Administrator management

14. Secure your business with less effort with the HP StorageWorks All-in-One storage blade File serving (NAS) Shared application storage (iSCSI SAN) Data protection Unified management with server blades • Hides storage complexity • BladeSystem advantages of cost, time, energy and easier change • SAN capability with standard TCP/IP network • Built-in snapshots and backup • Automatic problem notification and remote administration • Best practice toolkit is like having a ‘storage expert in the box’
