Customer Testimonials
“We knew the technology fit our model, especially for FIXBox. We had been using HPblades for about a year and we liked some of the new features that IBM brought in.”
John Knuff, VP, Network Engineering, NYFix
“The thing we are after is scalability of the support model, so we wanted a system thatoffers complete remote control. The only time we visit the facility is to add infrastructure,
so the blades allow us to install once, configure many times. It's the 'lights out' mantra ofsupport.”
Jeff Almoney, CTO, Reynolds & Reynolds
“As a result of consolidation, we only have to maintain a handful of servers instead ofnearly 600 -- making the task much less complex and expensive.”

Summary – Power & Cooling
§ HP blades consume more power than BladeCenter – delivering no added power/cooling efficiencies because the blade is just a 1U on its side*
§ Dell blades share some
thermal and power but not as dense or power efficient
§ IBM requires less power reducing infrastructure costs - fewer UPS, PDU, cooling units and air handlers!
