HP, Cisco meld switches, blades

Hewlett-Packard and Cisco are teaming to integrate Cisco`s switch technology into HP`s BladeSystem architecture.

01 March 2005

Integrating the Cisco Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module into the HP blade server chassis will reduce costs by up to 16 percent over a traditional rack-mounted system, officials with both companies said. The cost saving will come from reduced cabling and increased manageability, they said.

The switch will let users more easily provision resources without having to rewire individual components. It was available in HP BladeSytem in February.
