One thing to be aware of is that Dell blade (as well as many other brand)
servers are very heavy beasts.
In any deployment with these, check the physical dimensions, check the
weight and ensure that it will actually install into the rack that you are
using. Also, check the power consumption and heat output and check with your
data centre supplier once you know your final rack configuration that it is
within their permitted limits. This is essential!

Subject: [Asterisk-biz] Asterisk on Dell blade servers
We've been asked to quote for a large cluster running Asterisk and our
ITSP in a box product. The system will be SIP throughout, with mixed
codecs.
We're considering using Dell blade servers, 1855 or similar, on the
grounds that we normally use Dell machines and they work well, but we need
higher rack density.
Has anyone used these? Any feedback on whether they're
good/bad/indifferent? What scalability do you get on simple SIP-SIP
forwarding either with or without RTP passing through Asterisk?
