The HP BladeSystem c3000 Platinum Enclosure brings new capabilities to HP BladeSystem. The c3000 targets three separate market segments: 1) remote sites needing between 2 and 8 server blades; 2) mid-sized companies with between 3 and 100 servers; and 3) enterprise accounts with special datacenter requirements, such as DC power, or very limited rack power and cooling capacity.

Similar to the c7000, the Intelligent Management through the Onboard Administrator gives you complete control of your bladed infrastructure. A multi-terabit backplane ensures that the c3000 Enclosure can support today's Gigabit networks with an easy migration to tomorrow's 10 Gigabit solutions.

Simple to Manage, Easy to Control

• The HP BladeSystem c3000 Platinum Enclosure goes beyond just servers. It integrates server, storage (NAS or iSCSI), networking, power/cooling, and management into a single solution that can be deployed anywhere.


Change Ready IT That Can Grow and Flex with your needs

• Pre-wired and pre-configured, the c3000 Platinum Enclosure can easily implement a new server blade, simply as just plugging it in.


Reduce Up-front Capital and Ongoing Management Costs

• Costs less than equivalent rack-mounted servers (at 3 servers or more)
