2. INTRODUCTION
“A blade server is a stripped down server computer
with a modular design optimized to minimize the use
of physical space and energy”
 The blade architecture allows a number of servers
 All the Blades are typically installed in a rack-
mountable enclosure.

3. Each Blade Consist Of . . . .
 A minimum of two CPUs
 Memory
 Internal Storage
 Optional Plug-in Components

4. FEATURES
 Lower Hardware Costs
Simplified Deployment And Maintenance
To Maximize The Use Of Data Center
Space
To Reduce Power Consumption

5. A Single Chassis Consist Of . . .
 Power Supplies
 Management Console Access
 Cooling Fans
 Network Connectivity
 Shared Media Devices

6. Servers to Blade Server

8. Blade Server Vs Rack_mount Server

9. APPLICATIONS
 Web page serving and caching.
 Streaming audio and video content.
 File sharing and serving.
 Terminal services.
 Email messaging.
 Databases hosting.
 Virtualization.

10. ADVANTAGES
 Condensed, high-density...
 Load balancing and failover...
 Power consumption & power management...
 Lower management cost...
 Network and other cabling...
 Flexibility, modularity, and ease of upgrading...
 Disaster management...

11. DISADVANTAGES
 Expensive configuration...
 Expensive tools
 Vendor-lock...
 Business case...
 Heating and cooling...

12. CONCLUSION
Blade servers can greatly improve the reliability of
business systems. In an all-in-one design, you have the
essentials to build and maintain your infrastructure from start
to finish. This has became especially important with today’s
higher power demands and the ever increasing needs of
greater efficiency
