Evaluating the Value Proposition of the IBM eServer BladeCenter With InfiniBand

Overview Blade servers are providing the first step in creating a datacenter infrastructure that is more flexible. Many organizations are consolidating their rack-optimized, datacenter servers into a blade server chassis for greater efficiency and simplicity. Blade servers enable customers to react quickly to changing business needs by seamlessly scaling server, storage, and network infrastructure. Their ability to increase availability and manageability makes blade servers an attractive option for adopting scale-out computing. Additionally, datacenter managers are increasingly adopting infrastructure virtualization to improve service levels, integrate and deploy applications faster, and respond quickly to changing business needs and market conditions.
