HP blade solutions extend beyond server and networking technology, with a full portfolio of HP Storage blade options available to you and your customers, each providing exceptional flexibility in today’s demanding data environments.

Bell Micro and HP provide access to storage blade technology that sits either directly within a blade ‘all-in-one’ infrastructure or uses a wide variety of connectivity options to access much larger external storage capacity. Your customers can mix and match slots in blade enclosures to reflect their specific server and storage needs, attaching storage directly in the same infrastructure as their key applications or optimising the IT investment by using empty slots in blade enclosures for storage.

In situations where it’s necessary to expand beyond existing blade storage capacity HP offers technology to connect to SAN and NAS systems and scope to expand storage capacity anywhere between 1 and 9TB.

HP’s market-proven ‘Shorty’ c-Class enclosures provide an excellent platform for blade storage deployment alongside file and application servers, alternatively HP offers ‘all-in-one’ blade storage environments. Both options let you deploy HP storage blades in environments without specialist IT skills, with IT generalists able to deliver local support to the system and specialists able to deliver more complex support remotely.

Use Bell Micro’s extensive blade and storage insight to explore the best storage options for your customer and extend any blade opportunity. We have the resources already in place to ensure you maximise the margin in each blade deal through accurate quoting, seamless delivery and easy options for attach and upsell.
