Take a guided tour of the HP ProLiant BL495c virtualization blade with Gary Thome, Director of BladeSystem Strategy. Gary points out the key features that make this server blade ideal for hosting virtual machines and compares it to server blades from Dell and IBM including the Dell M605 and IBM LS21.

This is called unfair competition, and Mr. Gary, please make fair comparisons.
You have no ethics, when you speak ill of the competition and no arguments.

Hi, I'm Jason on the HP blade team and I worked with Gary on this video.
And now for the rest of the story.
Bengtfisken, let's be real okay? The Dell M805is 2x bigger than a BL495c (that means 8 in a Dell enclosure, 16 in HP) and it was released a couple of days before this was posted. Sorry we didn't get the heads up. The comparison to the Dell M605 as discussed in the video is accurate and we stand behind it.
Folks are welcome to compare the specs and decide for themseleves.

The comparison to Dell is wrong. Dell has the new M805 blade server that is also optimized for virtualization with 16 DIMMs. However the M805 has 4 x built in GigaBit NIC AND 4 x I/O-slots for Gigabit or FC network adapters. Far better than HP. Dell also has the M905, the worlds most powerful virtualization blade accoring to VMmark tests. So to me Dell is the clear leader on virtualization. Also Dell has built in flash-memory for the Hypervisor, HP uses standard USB-keys, not very reliable.
