Following the Origin IT Breakfast Seminar on the history/development/evolution of mobile devices this week, it was remarkable to see just how quickly what were enormous, cumbersome devices just a few decades ago are now sleek, tiny, pocket or clasp-sized marvels of future technology.

Huge brick phones have streamlined into wallet-sized miniature computers. The tablet device can now perform many if not all the tasks a bulky desktop performed a few years back.

The same thing has happened with countless other devices and inevitably the same thing has also happened to small business servers. Enter the Blade – the blade server. What is it? It is a variation of the rack server, just a significant amount smaller. Its key advantage is that it offers a lot more power squeezed into a much smaller space, therefore companies with large business servers are starting to spread into blade servers as part of their IT strategy.

It’s always interesting to see what people write about in the blade space, do check it out. I remain a fan of the blade format for a number of reasons, energy efficiency, speed of deployment and simple things like hardware support, do check it out.
