 Building on its extensive client virtualization portfolio, HP has announced with Citrix a simplified solution that integrates affordable, high-performance HP Blade PCs and Citrix XenDesktop 3 to help businesses reduce costs and enjoy better manageability, scalability and security than with traditional PCs.
At the core of the solution are the new HP BladeSystem bc2800 Blade PC and HP BladeSystem bc2200 Blade PC, which offer advanced infrastructure control and scalability. These products are combined with Citrix XenDesktop 3 to provide a high-definition user experience and centralized desktop management.
Built for professionals who interact with confidential and business-critical data, centralized client virtualization solutions from HP keep data protected within the data center, ensuring the highest levels of security while helping businesses meet regulatory standards.
To help simplify IT management and allow better infrastructure control and scalability, HP blade PCs with XenDesktop 3 offer advanced administrator tools, including remote access, control of hardware and software configuration and quick setup, as well as user allocation tools.
HP blade PCs provide a desktop experience with a fully dedicated CPU plus graphics, up to 8 gigabytes of memory and an 80 GB hard drive for a consistent, uninterrupted user experience. This helps ensure workers can maintain full productivity despite varying workloads or the range of desktop applications in use. In addition, the HP BladeSystem bc2800 is available with HP Remote Graphic Software, which provides a highly secure, collaborative remote desktop access to rich multimedia applications.
The HP BladeSystem bc2200 blade PC features a single-core AMD Athlon 64 processor, 520 MHz memory speed and integrated ATI graphics. The HP BladeSystem bc2800 high-performance blade PC features an AMD Turion X2 TL-66 dual-core processor, 767 MHz memory speed and integrated ATI graphics.
Both HP Blade PCs come preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Business edition and support a range of operating systems, including Windows Vista Enterprise 32-bit, Windows Vista Business 64-bit, Windows XP Professional SP 3 and Linux. The HP BladeSystem PCs plug vertically into the HP BladeSystem PC Blade Enclosure and include two Broadcom 5906M 10/100 Integrated Network Controllers. Vinod Negi/ITVoir Network
