Hewlett-Packard is expected on Tuesday to unveil its first blade server based on an Intel Itanium 2 processor, allowing customers to run HP-UX on one of the company's blade servers for the first time.

The dual-processor BL60p had been expected to arrive in 2005, but it will not start shipping until early next year. It is available for order right now at a starting price of $5695. Detailed specifications were not immediately available.

    HP Blades are just fantastic. I've got some coming into work soon to replace the HS20 IBM blades. They are worlds apart. I think my unix guys will like this :)
