Better Together: Blades, Linux, and Insight Control

Description: Driven by an explosion in the installed base of servers, the personnel cost required for adequate management and maintenance has put a strain on the majority of datacenter budgets. As a result, IT budgets are coming under closer scrutiny, with an eye toward identifying solutions that can demonstrably reduce costs by simplifying IT infrastructures and automating management processes. In this technical brief white paper, IDC describes the importance of manageability in the selection of a blade platform and examines the needs of the market with respect to managing large volumes of homogeneous Linux platforms, with a specific focus on the capabilities of HP's Insight Control Linux Edition.
