Product Description

The HP BladeSystem c3000 Configure-to-Order (CTO) enclosure, identified by part number 696910-B21, is a compact and versatile solution designed to house and manage HP ProLiant server blades. This 2U rackmount enclosure is specifically tailored for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) or remote office/branch office (ROBO) environments that require a consolidated and efficient server infrastructure. The CTO nature of this product allows organizations to customize the enclosure with specific components, such as power supplies, fans, network interconnects, and management modules, to meet their unique operational needs. With the capacity to support up to eight HP server blades, the c3000 enclosure consolidates computing power, storage, and networking into a single, manageable unit. This consolidation reduces rack space requirements, simplifies cabling, and lowers power and cooling costs compared to traditional rack-mount servers. The enclosure features redundant, hot-plug power supplies and cooling fans to ensure high availability and continuous operation, even in the event of component failure. The HP BladeSystem c3000 CTO enclosure provides a robust foundation for deploying a variety of HP ProLiant server blades, offering flexibility in choosing the right compute resources for different workloads. Its integrated management capabilities, through the Onboard Administrator module, simplify deployment, monitoring, and maintenance of the entire blade infrastructure. This makes it an efficient and scalable platform for businesses looking to optimize their IT resources.
