Blade Network Technologies is a leading supplier of Gigabit and 10G Ethernet, IP and Application Switches for blade server systems globally.

Blade Networks Technologies has recently announced the release of the first full 10 Gigabit Ethernet “Green Blade” switch for HP BladeSystem. For the first time, HP BladeSystem c-Class can now be equipped to provide 400 gigabits of Ethernet bandwidth for the high throughput and low latency required by blade server virtualization workloads and converged “single fabric” Ethernet networks.

BLADE’s embedded Ethernet “Green Blade” switches are becoming a compelling alternative for CIOs looking to conserve their datacenter power budgets. As the flagship product in BLADE’s line of “Green Blade” switches, BLADE 10G Ethernet switch reduces power consumption by 95 percent per 10G Ethernet port compared to 10G Ethernet modules used in racked chassis-based network switches.

“The new all-10G Ethernet switch for HP BladeSystem is the ideal ‘Green Blade’ solution for data centers that are overloaded with cables, crunched for bandwidth and seeking the utmost power and cooling efficiencies,” said Vikram Mehta, President and CEO of BLADE Network Technologies. “Twenty 10G Ethernet ports provide ample switching bandwidth to ensure that server virtualization workloads and other bandwidth-intensive and latency sensitive applications running on today’s converged IP networks, such as VoIP, Video On Demand, and Hi-Performance Computing (HPC), remain up and fluid at all times. Conserving hundreds of watts per embedded ‘Green Blade’ switch module compared with power-hungry chassis-based switches can offer substantially greater power and cooling efficiency and lower TCO than has heretofore been possible using conventional networking gear.”
