“IBM BladeCenter Systems Up to 30 Percent More Energy Efficient Than Comparable HP Blades”

Very interesting, but more importantly, as I understood it from a techy geek kind of angle, I thought the C class blade from HP was an alternative to the DL380/DL385 type scenario, as in, I’ll buy a c class rack, fill it with c class blades and get rid of my older dl380’s. Should the test not be ls20 for a bl35p? They’re similar type devices? Or maybe i’m missing something. Regardless it all comes down to money, the energy is significant, but several companies our outsourcing their hosting and it therefore becomes someone elses issue not mine, my issue is cost (all be influenced by power).
