However, for a small business, virtualising a blade server-based SAN infrastructure can be seen as prohibitive from a cost perspective, so that’s why we at IBM have combined servers, switches, a management component and importantly, an entire storage area network into a single flexible and low-cost solution (BladeCenter S) for small businesses which allows you to ‘virtualise everything’ while helping to lower running and management costs Scott Alan Miler raises some interesting points in his article, particularly the point he makes about virtualising a SAN infrastructure – blades are indeed beneficial to this kind of environment, offering maximum advantage in terms of flexibility.
