HP today introduced two unified communications (UC) solutions hosted on the HP BladeSystem in a bid to help businesses manage multiple communication tools within a single, consolidated platform. "By enabling customers to host, integrate and manage email, messaging, presence, conferencing and telephony on a single platform, the new HP Solution Blocks for Unified Communications can help increase employee productivity while decreasing administrative workload.", says HP.

The solution blocks combine HP server blades, HP storage hardware, interconnect technology and applications that are based on best practice configurations, said the company. "Other HP Solution Blocks, such as customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP) and business continuity can be flexibly combined. They also can coexist with the UC Solution Blocks within one or more BladeSystem enclosures."

“The HP Solution Blocks for Unified Communications are designed to enable resellers to configure and integrate UC functionality quickly,” said Jim Ganthier, director of BladeSystem marketing, Enterprise Storage and Servers, HP. “They pool both communication and IT infrastructure resources to deliver real savings while providing a unified environment that can be managed locally or remotely.”

The HP BladeSystem UC solutions are based on Microsoft® unified communications software and the forthcoming unified communications stack from Ericsson on both HP BladeSystem c7000 and HP BladeSystem c3000 enclosures.
