Blades for Business

HP's Blade PC and Workstations solutions provide you with an out-of-the-box infrastructure solution that gives you the security, privacy and manageability you need.

HP Blade PCs are a Remote Client Solution that provides end users with fully functional and personalized desktops delivered via a connection to a PC blade in a centralized data center. Even though it is remotely located, each end user is given a dedicated PC blade to help ensure they each get the consistent performance they need. End users can access their personalized environments, applications, and data from almost anywhere they can connect to their network.

HP Blade PCs are ideal for typical knowledge workers requiring cost effective access to many different kinds of applications. System administrators can manage this environment with the same proven, powerful tools used by the other Remote Client Solutions long used by the HP BladeSystem portfolio of products.

A recent addition to the PC Blade solution is HP's Remote Graphics Software. This enables enhanced video and graphics performance for the end user over other standard connection protocols like Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol.
