HP BladeSystem Reduces Data Center Thermal Footprint

Benchmark results announced Wednesday, March 7, 2007, confirm that the HP BladeSystem c-Class uses up to 27 percent less power than the competing IBM offering in similar configurations that reflect real-world customer usage of blade server environments. The HP BladeSystem c-Class uses zoned cooling properties to not only lower power usage through efficient power distribution but also to optimize airflow, a significant component in keeping data centers cool. The study, conducted by Sine Nomine Associates of Ashburn, Va., is publicly available at www.hp.com/go/bladepowerreport. (Photo: Business Wire)
