HPE Blades

HPE blade servers are compact, modular servers designed to fit in chassis with other HP / HPE blades. Together in an enclosure, these blade servers have one centralised power supply and cooling system to help, making them a cost-efficient option for your business. Better yet, many can be stored in one server rack to save on space.

At ITinStock, we stock numerous refurbished HPE / HP node servers, including the HPE ProLiant, Apollo & BladeSystem servers. Browse our selection below to find the right HPE / HP server for you.

Benefits of HPE Blade Servers

HPE blade servers are small and modular, designed for businesses that need high-density compute systems but need to save on space. Businesses and data centres will often use blade servers if they only have one or two server rooms and need dense virtualisation, cloud infrastructure or high-performance computing. That also means HPE blade servers share one enclosure or chassis, sharing CPU, memory, network controllers, power, and cooling components.

HPE blade systems also provide simplified management, centralised monitoring, and easier scalability. Administrators can even quickly add or replace blades without reconfiguring the entire environment. When it comes to the monitoring and remote management side, HPE blades utilise HPE OneView and Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) for an additional level of support.

We have plenty of refurbished HPE blade servers at ITinStock, too. These operate exactly the same as a brand-new unit, just at a fraction of the cost. Why not take a look?

Frequently Asked Questions

Do HPE Blade Servers Need a Chassis?
HPE blade servers need a compatible chassis (enclosure) to function. An HPE modular server setup consists of the blade servers themselves, as well as the enclosure to house the blades. The blade enclosure also provides power, cooling, and networking to the HPE blades.

Are Refurbished HPE Blade Servers as Good as New Ones?
Our refurbished HPE blade servers are pre-owned units that have been inspected, cleaned, tested, and verified to be in full working order before resale. At ITinStock, every server undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets reliable operational standards. The key differences from new units are the lower price and that there may be some cosmetic wear on the casing or component. Our expertly refurbished blade servers deliver the same enterprise-grade performance as new, with a 3-year warranty to give you peace of mind.

What workloads are blade servers best suited for?
Blade servers are designed particularly for businesses that require high processing power. Their modular design enables easy scalability, making them suitable for dynamic IT infrastructures. They are ideal for mid-size businesses to large enterprises requiring a higher number of servers to support their operations. Common workloads include virtualisation, private cloud infrastructure, database hosting, and high-performance computing. Blade servers excel in virtualised clusters due to their standardised nodes and high interconnect speeds.

What should I check for compatibility before buying a refurbished blade server?
There are three key areas to verify. First, chassis compatibility. Blade servers require a compatible chassis, so ensure the blade server is compatible with your existing or intended enclosure. Second, performance requirements. Determine your performance requirements based on the applications you plan to run, paying attention to processor generation, core count, and maximum memory capacity. Third, network connectivity. Blade servers rely on shared networking within the chassis, so consider the network connectivity options available, as some chassis support 25GbE or higher throughput for demanding environments. If you're unsure, our team is on hand to help match the right blade server to your existing setup.

How quickly can you deliver?
UK deliveries typically arrive next day via DHL Express or FedEx. We also offer European and international shipping with delivery timeframes varying by destination. Smaller pieces of IT hardware, such as components, ship quickly whilst larger items may require additional handling time. We are happy to discuss more specific delivery estimates based on your location. We can even same day items for the most urgent requirements!
