HP Blade PCs deliver the best business PC performance and application access at the lowest cost to moderate and heavy users via a 1:1 dedicated blade PC. The HP Blade PC infrastructure is a centralized computing solution which enables IT to achieve their virtualization goals (increased security, easier manageability, lower TCO) while maintaining all the benefits of a traditional dedicated PC (easy capacity planning, simplified scale out, consistent performance and economics). End-users maintain a true desktop experience, and your company benefits from the reliability and manageability of a centralized computing environment that quickly responds to ever-changing workforce and customer demands. Benefits of a dedicated HP Blade PC:
