21 April, 2009, by Desire Athow

In a move that is likely to give Cisco’s Unified Computing System a serious run for its money, Hewlett-Packard has launched a sophisticated data-center system that includes storage, networking and computing capacities all within a single unit.

The new offering which has been christened as the BladeSystem Matrix is aimed at providing a single adaptive infrastructure that can be setup with effortless ease.

HP claims that it’s new offering which ships with the Matrix Orchestration Environment management software goes a long way in simplifying data center tasks and can significantly bring down the operating costs. 

It goes onto claim that companies can look forward to a potential 300 percent return on investment in a period of 3 years or more and safely hope to save nearly 80 percent in operational costs. 

Explaining the reason behind the introduction of the BladeSystem Matrix , Mark Potter a senior vice president at HP mentioned "Increasingly, customers are looking for data-center solutions with Adaptive Infrastructure properties such as superior economics, application-based cost tracking, and true dynamic capacity management"
