This IDC paper “Business Value of Blade Infrastructures†indicates the considerable cost savings and the improved agility of the IT infrastructure by migrating to an HP BladeSystem environment. In fact, HP BladeSystems cut data costs by up to 68%. Customers participating in this study were able to pay back their initial investment in just over 7 months, a significant factor given the financial constraints most IT organizations are facing.
IDC believes that the datacenter of the future will require IT organizations to increase the utilization of their hardware, simplify their management, and improve the energy efficiency of servers. By leveraging HP BladeSystem and technologies such as HP Insight Control, HP Virtual Connect, and HP Thermal Logic, customers will be able to reduce their operating expenses and improve the flexibility of their IT environment. As a result, a greater portion of IT budget and staff time can be allocated to initiatives that drive value back to the business.
