The HP BladeSystem for Oracle Optimized Warehouse builds on current reference configuration solutions available from HP and Oracle for data warehousing. Composed of HP BladeSystem and Oracle Database, this pre-configured, appliance-like offering enables customers to invest more time and money in business innovation, rather than maintenance, by offering faster implementation times and better performance, with better energy efficiencies.

With the new offering, medium- to large-size businesses can be ready to load data into their new data warehouses within hours instead of weeks.

HP BladeSystem, the foundation for this offering, brings the essential elements of a data warehouse infrastructure – compute, storage, interconnect and management – together into a modular, self-optimizing unit.

HP BladeSystem is an infrastructure in a box that helps customers save time, power and money in small and large data centers. Customers can simplify networking with Virtual Connect, address power and cooling concerns with Thermal Logic, and improve management with Insight Control.

The Oracle Optimized Warehouse initiative is designed to deliver data warehousing solutions based on Oracle Database pre-installed on hardware that is configured and optimized for high-performance data warehousing.

HP BladeSystem for Oracle Optimized Warehouse is available through global technology distributor Avnet Technology Solutions and its select network of value-added resellers and system integrators. It is expected to begin shipping in July, 2008.
