A couple of days ago I finally got a chance to play around with a IBM BladeCenter S chassis with a HL21 blade server. The BladeCenter S is positioned as an entry level blade solution for the SMB market and looked like the perfect solution for a small Lotus Domino based local consultant company that I was hired to perform the installation for. The usage scenario was a powerful, extensible and manageable solution that they could utilize in their development and testing work as well as allow for further growth. Initially it will be used to run VMware Server and run a few development VMs, but the plan is to migrate to a full VMware ESX based infrastructure as the company and their computing needs continue to grow.

Check out this great article talking about setting up a BladeCenter S chassis. I’ve yet to play with one yet, this article goes through setting it up with the issues experienced in doing so, a good read.
