HP has released what has been dubbed the world's first two-in-one server blade. These sorts of servers are designed to offer improved data center performance, reduced floor space and lower power usage.

The HP ProLiant BL2x220c G5 combines two independent servers in a single blade, enabling customers to double compute power and significantly reduce data centre space requirements. HP said that it has 60 percent better performance per watt than similar configurations on the market and minimizes cooling and power costs.

The BL2x220c is the industry's first server blade to offer more than three times the density of traditional 1U rack-mount servers.
