HP goes on an IBM blade hunt
HP at the unveiling of its blade new c-Class blade architecture painted a huge target on IBM.
Its new blades are easier to manage and more power efficient, the company's server chief Ann Livermore said at the official unveiling.
HP typically doesn’t play the "blame it on the competition" game, and shouldn't have done so this time.

The beast has a back too.
