Blade Servers are the fastest growing segment in the overall server market and will account for 20% of all server shipments worldwide by 2010 (Gartner, Inc. June '05). An increasing number of companies are switching from conventional, rack-mounted units to compact blade servers that can simplify management and provisioning while delivering reliability and availability. Blades are flexible and scalable which allows them to be easily installed, managed and repaired compared to conventional servers. However, the high-density environment in which your blade server will reside requires careful consideration to localized cooling and power requirements, and interoperability with your Network Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI).
