Overview Blade Power & Cooling Virtualization

Doing more with less

The quest for more powerful processors has brought higher energy bills, a bigger load to cool, and the ever-present threat of overheating. Insufficient power and overheating are hot buttons for growing IT environments - in fact, power costs are quickly catching up with acquisition costs.

The drive for greater compute performance is incredibly important as the world's data is already outstripping our ability to compute it. Moving forward, HP and Intel are committed to providing eco-technology innovations that allow you to do more with less.
