Blade Server
A BLADE SERVER is a computer for Data Processing Centers and is designed to take
advantage of space, reduce consumption and simplify its operation.
In a standard rack server configuration, the 1U rack unit (19" wide and 1.75" high) is
the minimum possible size for a server.
Blade servers are specifically designed to take advantage of space, reduce consumption
and simplify maintenance. This type of servers have a higher data processing and consume
less energy, since the different servers share both power and cooling.
This is a chassis or enclosure that houses multiple physical servers or blades within it.
The entire system is often rack mounted. Each Blade Server is a thin "board" containing
only microprocessor, memory and buses.
It has a low energy consumption: As it is installed in a cabin that provides the electricity
for its operation, without using its own source, it does not spend more than what it should,
achieving that energy saving that is very important in data centers.
Blade servers typically include integrated or optional network interface controllers for
Ethernet or host adapters for Fibre Channel storage systems.
When storage is included per-blade, you can distribute storage across each blade in the
chassis. Most modern blade servers support at least two disk products.
Yes because blade servers are small circuit boards that act as servers within their server
enclosure. They are an excellent choice for high processing power in a dense environment
