I recently had the Dell M1000e chassis delivered to my Data Center for evaluation. I have a HP c7000 blade enclosure already I’m was already a sceptic about blade technology. There are some nice benefits to blades like wiring consolidation etc. One thing I’m not a fan of is the networking consolidation now it might be fine for a lot of people but I use alot of VMware and iSCSI storage I need every bit of I/O I can get I/O consolidation is not good for me.

I’m going to try be as fair as I can be in this review. I am primarily a Dell shop but we are getting more and more HP all the time. There are some things I’m very pro one way or the other on please forgive me.

Check out this great post talking about Dell and HP blades, it’s great seeing what people think about the technologies, how they perceive the benefits and challenges with the platforms.
