Virtualization with Blade Servers
New blade server offerings such as IBM BladeCenter™ servers go a long way to address the consolidation needs of enterprise IT managers. With a virtualization software overlay, these blade servers can lower TCO even further.
Blade platforms offer improved server manageability and minimized provisioning, cabling, floor space utilization, and power and cooling expenses.
Virtualization software deployed on blade platforms improves blade utilization and cost effectiveness. In addition, virtualization software provides more flexibility and responsiveness in provisioning new software services, while maintaining existing services. Virtualization software deployed on blade servers manages virtual and physical infrastructure to let you continuously consolidate workloads for optimal hardware utilization and decreased operational costs.
Virtualization software treats the available hardware as a common pool of resources, enabling flexibility in capacity planning. Capacity can be reallocated on the fly if one of the workloads peaks, and provisioning a new workload no longer requires deploying a new blade.
With virtualization software you can:
- Control your computing capacity flexibly and precisely
- Save 35% or more in operational costs due to higher systems utilization
- Make your infrastructure utility-computing ready with on-demand dynamic provisioning, affordable availability, and flexible management
