‘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.
