Blade server

           

This article is written with personal comments. May be different from many individuals. But through proven.

          In this article, let's talk about just 2 Brand not because I was the Brand leading the market, it was the number 1 and 2 of this world in the Blade is the one of the main Marketing, people often do not recognize the number 2 or number 3, but to remember. I only number 1, but with the 2 brand, it is like having a huge fan of his I see it differently, however.

 HP BladeSystem

          HP Blade is a cabinet that Enclosures by name an official BladeSystem then HP BladeSystem it originated in 2001 under the name PC-Blade made ​​to Hosting active because one machine, enter up to 20 units in size. small Let's see you do better than the pros and cons of Blade HP then what.

Advantages / Strengths

         1. Module with Power Supply for Rack : actually the same one used on the Rack Power Supply is the ProLiant DL380, ML350, Blade C3000 makes it easy to find the device.

          2.Option to have put a lot : Compared to HP, in his Cabinet Enclosures can then be put into a Module Storage while IBM does or he does not look good. And also put Module Tape Back down to it. This is reinforced in a Blade Option loadable flexibility.

          3.Is later : I must say is newer because HP is a replacement enclosure Enclosures own the series progresses, which is based on technology latest technology makes it safe to HP, it has an LED that Status is. Flexible Option to put on any Storage / Tape to a large Series C7000.

          4.Power Supply looks better : to say that this is because HP claims that he was awarded the Energy Star is able to build up, the losses are less, it is to the power plug into the Power Supply.

          5.FAN Standby : System of Fan and Power Supply for HP it is not in the Standby Mode Standby runs, but runs a bit, but instead of using a ball or two that are not in use. Energy efficient, not quite.

          6.FAN Turbo JET : HP holds strengths that. He used to work like a fan is like a second fan located on a single to another to be stuck inside on a direction opposite to the main rotation. Strong winds make it work even better. It also strengthens the point. Then fan is very small But the force that works quite well. Move along unless it's entered only after a bit strange.

IBM BladeCenter

          IBM Blade Server or cabinet as Chassis using the official name of the BladeCenter holds scheduled early in 2001 with the name BladeCenter E today, it still has BladeCenter E can be used on the current machine with me, let's see. pros and cons to each

Advantages / Strengths

          1.Blade Server available on any container, even old cabinet : This was featured at IBM holds throughout because it is the only brand that makes Blade Server Blade newer or older Compatible with BladeCenter enclosure older generation put together at all. Since the first series The last series The architecture of IBM is considered a good idea. So not a lot wrong with the Upgrade brands that change every three years, enabling customers to purchase a Blade can not buy a full tank. When replacing or adding to future versions do not.

          2.Possesses the Server Blade : Blade Server is a variety of IBM. Since the 1CPU 2CPU or 4CPU WorkStation Server includes the latest Cell Server up again for higher-level processing, there Virtualization Power System for Unix machines made ​​by that really complete the series all Rack instead.

           3.Power Consumtion : The KVM Module Server able to work less, so that power consumption is reduced. This will help a lot if the power goes out, the machine requires a UPS backup that I would want to work over the next Server performance, but consume more power. To reduce the duration of backup power with you.

          4.FULL Redundantcy : IBM is the one that talks about everything from Redundant Mid-plain the point between your Server with 2 points on the back panel - bottom, but other brands. Connected to just a single point. Some brands even have two points, but it does not exclude the Redundant work perfectly. Or even fans IBM is a fan made Redundantcy but competitors are positioning the fan based on the position of the machine to the slot for that, so if there is a Fail will be used to reposition the fan to the rear of the connector Slot use it. it is not Redundant.

          5.Extravagant FAN : A fan called in the terminology of IBM or IBM's Blower itself a great big heart, which ever is Full reduntdant because the placement of the cabinets are already covered. I work as the heat of the machine, usually 22-23 degrees the fan will work just 55%, but if you have some equipment to work harder and Fan Fail virtual Alert them know. Help came to see me who I Fail 5555 because it weighed so much more than IT to ignore it, just accept that it's not. Not to brag, but that the force Because it conveys it.

          6.Each equipped Chassis Share it : Here is another thing that many people like to highlight. Including me The devices on Module IBM and Share aside from Blade Server version of the old, put in new cabinets or Blade Server models fit in old cabinet or the cabinet we use for us to M / A Add Power. Supply new to it then take out the Full Redundantcy old may be the size of the new 1300Watt 2000Watt put out it was the whole cabinet. Do not change any device or SAN Module / Switch Module is used to switch back and forth, but there are some Module at each specific series. It will be different on a High-end, as 10Gbp Infiniband it requires H so that E, S is not supported or Module certain to make dispenser with Storage within it must be used with S, but it must be said that the device over. Share 70-80% quite common to have a bad performance.

Thank You.

See you next time.
