Blade Watch

Hp.com and the datasheet

The BL495c G5 virtualization blade eliminates the performance bottlenecks of a virtual machine host. Engineered with more memory and I/O than any other 2-processor blade server, this world’s first virtualization blade maximizes the number and performance of VMs that you can deploy per blade.

HP’s new blade is an interesting development and a welcome offering to the blade market. The blade brings enhanced functionality in terms of memory and I/O, two key issues with virtualization on the blade platform., it also uses solid state drives which is very cool.

It has impressive memory and storage possibilities, that you can have 128GB of RAM in a blade is fantastic for virtualization particularly as you scale up the systems that you’re virtualizing. That you abstract the end user, the application from the infrastructure can be empowerment in itself, that we can have a blade that might only host a few more demanding virtual instances. I’ll need to read up more about it.
