Server, storage, and networking hardware should be engineered with the end state of a dynamic infrastructure in mind. The physical elements should increasingly incorporate technologies to facilitate isolation, modularity, and increased resilience where appropriate.

• Server blades - BladeSystem c-Class supports ProLiant server blades using AMD or Intel x86 processors, Integrity IA-64 server blades, and StorageWorks storage blades. The portfolio of server blades range from extreme density-optimized blades to mainstream enterprise blades and specialized - HP BL10e | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-Class - Page 10
blades such as the ProLiant BL2x220c, up to 32 server blades - each with 2 processors and up to 32 GB of memory for the G5 example, in a c7000 enclosure fully configured with 16 halfheight server blades, the aggregate bandwidth is up to high reliability.

ProLiant server blades and BladeSystem enclosures include enterprise-class technologies that support reliability, serviceability, and (iLO) management - HP BladeSystem c-Class employs iLO 2 processors to configure, update, and operate individual server blades remotely.

.8 All ProLiant c-Class server blades include the unique Virtual Connect technology that abstracts and partitions the server-to-network I/O connections, and some server blades have been specifically designed for virtual machine deployments with capabilities for large memory footprints, large - HP BL10e | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-Class - Page 15
and mobility. Just as hypervisor software abstracts physical servers into virtual machines, HP Virtual Connect technology abstracts groups of physical servers within a VC domain into an anonymous physical machine.

on the individual server blades. It allows these servers with static MAC and WWN assignments. For more information about Virtual Connect technology, see the technology brief titled "HP Virtual Connect technology implementation for the HP BladeSystem c-Class": http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support - HP BL10e | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-Class - Page 17
own content, administrators need to add user-specific data, such as MAC addresses, WWNs, and global IDs. A template can be deployed as either a virtual machine or a ProLiant c-Class server blade. Because the physical and virtual servers are generated from a common set of metadata, templates provide - HP BL10e | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-Class - Page 18
of either physical or virtual servers, presented in a convenient one-to-five star rating system with supporting details. The objective function separate self-service provisoning portal for deployment. The HP Insight Orchestration utility allows administrators to integrate logical server planning, - HP BL10e | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-Class - Page 19
Figure 9. HP Insight Orchestration enables the visual design of standardized infrastructure services. After the complete infrastructure template has been designed, it can be easily placed into the deployment portal for activation by authorized users (Figure 10). Upon activation, the service is - HP BL10e | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-Class - Page 20
