The Integrity NonStop BladeSystem provides an integrated infrastructure with consolidated
server, network, storage, power, and management capabilities. The NonStop BladeSystem
implements the BladeSystem c-Class architecture and is optimized for enterprise data center
applications. The NonStop NB50000c BladeSystem is introduced as part of the J06.03 RVU.
