HP BladeSystem Solution Block

A vision without action is called a daydream; but then again,
action without a vision can be a nightmare.

Imagine happy employees working together—
collaborating from offices, at home and on the road.
Applications to get the job done are at their fingertips
whether they are in the office or on the road. Critical
data is accessible to only those who need it—and
protected from those who don’t. Best of all, no one is
complaining about performance or high costs. For
some, this may be nothing more than a daydream. For
others, namely those with their application delivery
infrastructure built on an HP BladeSystem and Citrix
Windows® Application Delivery, this is reality today.

Delivering real-time value

“Here and now” is today’s business norm. Anything
less raises fears of lower productivity, higher
operational costs and missed opportunities. The HP
BladeSystem and Citrix Windows Application Delivery
solution can meet, or dare we say beat, the norm with
a business-like approach that delivers applications and
data to users in virtually any location on virtually
any device.

It all begins with the HP BladeSystem c3000
enclosure—a versatile, smaller enclosure that
consolidates hardware resources (compute, storage,
network, power and cooling) into a single box. The
c3000 enclosure moves beyond the norm by allowing
you to virtualize your network, your storage and your
power infrastructure. This helps you manage it all as a
unified environment—locally or remotely—for real
savings on hardware acquisition costs, operating
expenses (like energy) and IT administrator time.

The savings continue with Citrix Windows Application
Delivery software—by centralizing your applications
and then virtualizing access to them, you can deliver
applications as a service, providing on-demand access
to users, while maintaining the flexibility to leverage

future application architectures. This approach not only
cuts management and support costs, but also increases
data security and provides fast, reliable performance.

Capitalizing on change

Now more than ever, you need flexible business
solutions that provide the services you need without
breaking your IT budget. The modular, all-in-one
design of the HP BladeSystem is designed to do just
that. For instance, HP Virtual Connect technology
reduces barriers to change by allowing server and
storage blades to be added, swapped or moved
without impacting the local area network (LAN) or
storage area network (SAN)—or even moving cables.
In addition, to guard against unwelcome change, HP
Insight Control technology provides continuous system
monitoring/alerts and policy-based automation,
enabling you to quickly recover from a system failure.

Citrix software is also ready for change, offering
advanced tools for application load management,
system-wide troubleshooting, and automated server
failover and recovery. This proven combination of
mission-critical services enables Citrix application
delivery on the HP BladeSystem to be a dream-team
combination that delivers outstanding levels of business
continuity, security and efficiency.

And as your business grows, your investment in
this infrastructure is protected because every HP
BladeSystem component you purchase—server blades,
storage blades, Virtual Connect modules, LAN and
SAN switches—can be moved from the 8-slot c3000
enclosure to the 16-slot HP BladeSystem c7000
enclosure and still run with Citrix as your needs grow.
