Blades are making sense in a greater proportion of server acquisition decisions; however, blades are not for everyone. Generally, Info-Tech finds that blades make the most sense if there are hundreds of servers being consolidated. Space constraints are a top priority as well as management streamlining.
This tool provides:
- Questions for establishing your server consolidation situation.
- Recommendations for considering either blades or rack mount servers.
Use this tool to gauge whether the blade form factor is a best fit for your organization. Blades have advantages, but if less than ten servers are required for consolidation, traditional rack mount is best.
