Nottingham City Council has installed 43 Bull NovaScale B260 blade servers with EMC Clarion CX3 storage arrays to improve faster processing and better storage – as well as cutting 40 per cent of its overall energy consumption.

The new infrastructure will let the council build a new customer relationship management (CRM) platform, an electronic document management system, and a new email system.

Very cool, an example of how blades when deployed in the right way, with the right combination of technologies can be a very efficient way of providing the IT infrastructure, through choosing the more efficient processors, using the integrated switches and SAN boot, you can save significant energy if you were to provide it all separately.
