about current products, see www.hp.com/go/bladesystem. Understanding the Blade c-Class architecture The BladeSystem consists of several core components (Figure 4): • The enclosure - An HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure accommodates server blades, storage blades, I/O option blades, interconnect - HP BL260c | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-Clas - Page 9
• 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 BL260c | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-Clas - 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 product - can be housed in a c7000 enclosure.

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 networking - HP BL260c | Delivering an Adaptive Infrastructure with the HP BladeSystem c-Clas - Page 15
with the BladeSystem c-Class architecture. HP Virtual Connect virtualizes the connections between the HP BladeSystem and data center LANs and SANs, allowing administrators to pool and share Ethernet and Fibre Channel connections and make server changes transparent to the networks (Figure 7).
