It’s a powerful combination. Working together, HP BladeSystem and HP OneView help you transform business economics by accelerating service delivery with 66x faster workload deployment. That’s what we call the Power of One.
Interactive brochure | The power of one
Transform business economics by accelerating service delivery Now, more than ever, your IT managers are under enormous pressure to deliver applications and services that innovate and transform your business. You’re being asked to deliver a data center defined by lower costs, rapid time to value, and rock-solid reliability.
69%
of IT data centers use 10 or more tools to monitor their infrastructure and applications. Some organizations use 50 or more tools.1
To accomplish this mission, you need an infrastructure platform that can be highly optimized for today’s and tomorrow’s virtualized workloads to provide operational simplicity that allows you to move at the speed of business. Unfortunately, a traditional infrastructure won’t get you there. A siloed environment requires too many tools and manual processes, which creates unnecessary complexity. That complexity, in turn, causes downtime, slows service delivery, and drains your IT staff productivity.

Five ways HP BladeSystem optimizes your business with the power of one Let’s take a closer look at the ways HP BladeSystem optimizes your business with the Power of One.
1. Automation to increase agility A software-defined approach to IT infrastructure management shifts your organization from manual processes to template-driven automated processes that reduce the cost and time required to deliver IT services. HP OneView is a single software platform to manage all your infrastructure across compute, networking, and storage. With a modern and integrated workspace for converged infrastructure management, it accelerates enterprise workload deployment, such as virtualization and cloud computing, by up to 66x faster.
We can do the work in one day at the push of a button

2. Realize payback in just seven months
95%
fewer networking components5
40%
less power and cooling6
Compared with traditional rack server environments, using HP BladeSystem can dramatically simplify your infrastructure and help you shift investment from maintenance and operations toward business innovation. In fact, HP BladeSystem can reduce your data center costs by up to 68%, according to a study of HP customers by IDC. Customers realized a payback on their investment in just seven months. Traditional rack infrastructure can be sprawling, complex, and expensive to manage. With just two HP BladeSystem Virtual Connect FlexFabric modules, we reduce networking components by up to 95%5 and reduce your power and cooling costs by up to 40%.6
3. Wire-once simplicity Based on a proven architecture with more than 10 million Virtual Connect ports shipped, HP Virtual Connect is the simplest way to connect servers to any network.
A seamless transition
95%: HP internal calculations comparing number of hardware components of traditional infrastructure vs. HP BladeSystem with two Virtual Connect FlexFabric modules, January 2013. 6 40%: Based on the difference of traditional interconnect and adapter power costs compared to VC Flex-10/10D solution. Compare cost of power for 6 Ethernet switches, 16x 1 Gb dual-Port NIC LOMs, 16 quad-port NICs to 2 HP VC Flex-10/10D modules connected to 16 embedded Flex-10 adapters. This notes refers to VC FlexFabric and not VC Flex10/10D.
“When Cisco came in with UCS, we spent a lot of effort to get it up and running. With HP Converged Infrastructure, it was seamless. Having HP from the blades to Virtual Connect to the 3PAR StoreServ Storage was much easier to provision than a Cisco UCS to EMC solution.”

4. Optimizes enterprise workloads Confidently scale your business on the industry’s leading converged system that is designed, certified, and delivered as a single solution with servers, storage, and networking. Only HP gives you the simplicity and freedom through the Power of One to build IT that’s truly optimized for your business-compute solutions for everyday workloads, converged systems for high-intensity virtualized or cloud workloads, and even an entire converged data center. It’s all built on the same HP BladeSystem foundation, delivered on premises or as a service and backed by HP, the worldwide leader in virtualization infrastructure.
5. Maximizes uptime With intelligence built into the infrastructure and server, HP BladeSystem delivers industry-leading innovation, such as proactive health monitoring built on a federated architecture to streamline operations and maximize availability. Embedded smart sensors track 100% of configuration changes. With this advanced system telemetry, you can accurately troubleshoot and resolve problems faster than with other bladed infrastructures without impacting application performance.
Higher uptime, lower risk
“What’s important is that we can guarantee higher uptime with less risk than in the past, with more flexibility for our users.” —Jan Janssens, Director, Cobelfret Read the case study
