Blade.org Highlights Best Practices for Server Consolidation Using Blade Servers

May 09, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Blade.org said it is making available a vendor neutral, member-driven study on server consolidation and workload optimization.

The group said the free white paper can be downloaded at blade.org/tech_hot_topics.cfm. Contributors from APC by Schneider Electric, Double-Take Software, Emulex, IBM and NetApp find consolidating older, less performing servers, storage and workstations with smaller, more efficient blade server systems can reduce costs and improve efficiency. But a high-density, virtualization-driven datacenter requires effective resource management software and efficient storage and I/O management to provide the highest possible benefit. In particular, power and cooling requirements demand system-level planning to support scalability, storage, backup, and networking requirements.



"As the industry faces down the twin challenges of delivering more IT services while simultaneously reducing IT budgets, Blade.org members are working to address the key technology trends that can enable datacenter managers to achieve their goals," said Brent Mosbrook, Senior Product Manager for Emulex Corp. and Chairperson of the Blade.org Solutions Architecture Committee. "This white paper is a result of collaboration among five Blade.org members and highlights server consolidation with a focus on key technologies and best practices deployment."
