Webcast Description
Blades are hot! Blades are being adopted by business at phenomenal rates; blades are one of the hottest areas in IT infrastructures. Now we are seeing the next step in blades: the move towards mission critical computing.

In this webinar, we will look at the overall value of blades to a business. A BladeSystem is an infrastructure in a box proven to save time, power and money in data centers large and small. HP's overall blade strategy and portfolio will be highlighted.

From there, we will examine the advantages of transitioning a mission critical environment to HP BladeSystem. HP holds the #1 market share position for EPIC/RISC blades and we will illustrate how customers are successfully deploying a bladed infrastructure for their mission critical solutions.

This webinar will set the stage for a series of six sessions over the next six months that dives deeper into how HP Integrity blades are ideal for mission critical computing. During this period we will look at running HP-UX and OpenVMS on Integrity blades as well as take a deeper dive into the recent Integrity NonStop BladeSystem announcement.
