HPE: 2016 Blade Server Networking Market Leader
IT BRAND LEADER
PROFILE
Blade Server Networking Market Overview
Blade servers are well known for the simple fact that server modules plug into a
mid-plane. What many people don’t realize is that x86 blade servers from
different vendors share many of the same processor, memory and storage
components. Therefore, it is the highly-customized embedded networking
infrastructure which defines best-in-class. Blade server leaders support the widest variety of networking
protocols, the highest performance, and embed the most networking technology inside the system.
HPE BladeSystem Voted Blade Server Networking Market Leader
HPE Virtual Connect is a popular module in the HPE c-Class BladeSystem portfolio, and
embodies the definition of best-in-class blade server networking. Virtual Connect
technology is built right into the enclosure, which provides performance and reliability
advantages over external switch configurations, and uniquely supports Ethernet, Fibre
Channel and InfiniBand networks. And that’s why, for the fourth time in the last five
years, HPE was voted the Market Leader for Blade Server Networking.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Brand Values Which Stand Out
In the 2016 brand leader survey for Blade Server Networking, IT pros chose HPE as the Market Leader,
Performance Leader and Innovation Leader. This indicates that in enterprise data centers—which are being
transformed into more efficient private clouds—performance and useful innovation define market leadership
for blade server networking.
