HP BladeSystem c-Class

The Next Generation Blade Computing For The Adaptive Infrastructure

HP Thermal Logic Technology

"Our server power and cooling is out of control"
HP BladeSystem c-Class can lower power usage and heat without sacrificing performance.

What it means

Thermal Logic Technology actively monitors and automatically adapts to your changing needs. It also gives you the ability to maximize
system performance without exceeding the power and cooling capacity of your data center. Thermal Logic means:

  • Insight - A graphic thermal dashboard gives you an instant snapshot of the power consumption, heat output and cooling capacity of your environment.
  • Efficiency - Constantly assesses your system temperature and responds quickly to redirect air where it’s needed most.
  • Control - Gain the unique ability to balance performance, power and cooling, according to the task at hand.
  • Cost Savings - Enjoy power savings of up to 40 percent or more versus rack-mount servers. No component or application ever uses more power or cooling than required

How it works

Embedded Sensor Monitoring
Hundreds of embedded sensors assess system temperature and respond quickly to redirect air where it's needed most.

HP Active Cool Fans

This evolutionary design, inspired by jet engine technologgy, pushes air further into the blade chassis, consumes one-third less power and is roughly half as quiet as traditional server fans.

Multi-Zone Architecture
Fans located in each of four zones provide direct cooling for blades in that zone, and redundant cooling for all others.
