HP said that this model offered twice the performance and took up less space in the datacentre. As well as this the firm estimated a 35 percent lower total cost of ownership and up to a 50 percent decrease in cost per transaction.
“The new Integrity NonStop BladeSystem provides 24/7 business availability and scalability to our customers through the economies of a bladed form factor,” said Ann Livermore, executive vice president, Technology Solutions Group, HP. “This is yet another example of how HP enables customers to manage and transform their technology for better business outcomes.”
To support the release HP is making it easy for firms to move on to blade servers. Its NonStop Freedom programme offers firms deals, whether it is to upgrade from an older HP server, or to migrate from a mainframe architecture.
