Q: What is the HP Blade Workstation Solution?
A: The HP Blade Workstation Solution is a complete product offering from HP that delivers full dual-processor
workstation performance and experience from a remote data center to a desktop client appliance over standard
networks spanning virtually unlimited distances. For even more computing power, a user may simultaneously
connect from a single client device to multiple blade workstations.
Q: Is there a distance limitation between the Blade Workstation and the client?
A: Since the remoting of the desktop session is accomplished over standard TCP/IP networking, there is no physical
distance limitation. Practical limitations for interactivity depend on latency of the user’s network. A rule of thumb
is that network latency of >100ms results in a noticeable lag in interactivity. Latency of <50ms is generally very
acceptable.
Q: What kind of graphics and video can the HP Blade Workstation Solution support?
A: The HP Blade Workstation Solution handles 2D and 3D graphics and streaming video and audio content all in
real time with low bandwidth.
Q: What are the components of the HP Blade Workstation Solution?
A: There are six major components of the solution:
HP ProLiant xw460c Blade Workstation or HP ProLiant xw2x220c Blade Workstation
HP Blade System c-Class infrastructure
HP Blade Workstation Client
HP Remote Graphics Software (RGS)
HP ProLiant Essentials management software
HP Session Allocation Manager (SAM) software
Blade and infrastructure
Q: Why is the HP Blade Workstation branded a "ProLiant"?
A: The HP ProLiant xw460c Blade Workstation is derived from the HP ProLiant BL460c Server Blade. It takes advantage
of the HP ProLiant quality and Integrated Lights Out Management infrastructure that have been proven in the most
mission-critical enterprise operations.
Q: Can HP Blade Workstations be mixed with HP ProLiant Blade Servers in the same blade infrastructure?
A: Yes. Since the HP Blade Workstation is part of the ProLiant family it can be mixed in a ProLiant Server Blade
environment.
Q: I have a c-Class infrastructure for my HP Blade Servers with open slots. Can I install an HP Blade Workstations in
this existing infrastructure?
A: Yes. If you already have c-Class infrastructure installed, you do not have to order it with the HP Blade Workstations. In
order for an HP Blade Workstation to function the infrastructure must be in place.
