Introducing the world's first virtualization blade. Take a guided tour.

A BladeSystem is an infrastructure in a box proven to save time, power and money in data centers large and small. Download this IDC whitepaper to learn how blade servers save you more.

Today’s server blades simply aren’t optimized for virtualization. So we built one that is. The ProLiant BL495c virtualization blade removes bottlenecks to virtual server performance by packing two-times more memory slots and more network connections per server than other two processor server blades.  Take a guided tour of the world’s first virtualization blade.
