HP Blades Slimming Down

摘要

Hewlett-packard plans to slim down its blade servers by introducing the BL30p, an ultra-thin blade designed to fit into the same chassis as HP's BL20p and BL40p blades. The BL30p is half as thick as the BL20p blade and uses a newly designed "sleeve" mechanism that lets two BL30p units plug into the interconnects used by one BL20p. HP does not have pricing or specifications for the BL30p, which will begin shipping by the end of June. The server announcement was made last week.
