HP has taken another step towards putting everything on blades in the data centre, with the release of its first dedicated storage blade.
HP says its new StorageWorks SB40c storage blade can add up to 876GB of direct attached storage capacity to each blade within an HP BladeSystem c-Class enclosure.
Based on industry-standard components, HP claims the SB40c's density and power efficiency accommodates the space and power constraints of data centres.
According to HP, the processing power of BladeSystem c-Class server blades, combined with the SB40c, provides the performance and capacity needed for demanding applications such as file and print, mail and messaging, video streaming, databases and distributed file systems.
"The SB40c storage blade is the newest product in the StorageWorks portfolio that is aimed at helping customers to simplify their IT infrastructures," says Yesh Surjoodeen, business development manager of HP's StorageWorks division.
