Thoughts on the IBM BladeCenter S

IT Jungle.com

In case you haven’t gotten the message, small and medium businesses, IBM really wants you to use its entry BladeCenter S chassis as your entire data center and stop buying rack and tower servers and other gear. Now that the BladeCenter S has disk expansion thanks to a new SAS module, this is possible. But it is still pricey.

And so, IBM has announced a special promotion, available for customers who buy directly from Big Blue’s online store, a 50 percent discount off the BladeCenter S SAS RAID controller module. The discount went live on February 3, and will be in effect until April 30.

Check out this article which is talking about an offer IBM appear to have with their BladeCenter S platform, I was speaking to a friend about their ‘small business’ blade solution just the other day. I remain a big fan of it, it could be an ideal choice for those remote satallite offices or if you just need servers for a specific project, like a development farm for grid or vmware?
