‘Blading’ a new trail - INQ7.net

This is a very interesting article, and I agree blades can provide real value, the benefits obtained from a blade as opposed to a rack mount server are numerous, the only thing to remember when discussing the suitability of blades for your business are:  what’s the growth likely to be? what cooling facilities do you have? What’s your budget?  The blade itself might be similar or cheaper to a rack mount, but the associated infrastructure isn’t.  To deploy a blade server, you need the enclosure (which can be expensive), any integrated networking, the benefits to blades are in volume.
