Blades on-demand

Bank invests in blade servers and on-demand - Financial Services - Breaking Business and Technology News at silicon.com

It seems that this investment bank has bought another tranche of blades for it’s derivatives businesss.  My experience with the blades is that the banks want the benefits of the blades, but the challenge is the hosting, the blade racks are power and heat intensive thus costly to host.  It will be interesting to see if any of the other banks start to outsource their hosting facilities.
