HP has added a second Itanium blade to its IBM-whacking BladeSystem arsenal, its first quad-socket (eight-core) Montvale blade, its earlier year-old Montvale blade being a dual-socket.The new entry is for large memory-intensive data center workloads, promising power savings of up to 25% and space savings because 2.5 times as many BL870c blades can fit in the same space as a comparable rack-mount configuration.
HP claims the addition gives it the broadest workload capacities on a blade in the business.
The dingus fits in HP's popular c3000 and c7000 enclosures.
The bulk of these blades will run Unix or OpenVMS, HP said, though they can also run Windows or Linux.
Entry-level pricing starts at $8,000 for a uniprocessor with one drive and 4GB of memory. HP is also offering so-called Solution Blocks of pre-configured apps like PeopleSoft.
