We have three blade centers here, two IBM and one Dell. They are ok, I wouldnt put anything mission critical on them, and their and airflow needs are crazy.
Unless you need all the servers, and have a lot of power available I wouldnt use Blades. _____ From: James Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 9:54 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Server configuration > You may want to look at blade servers. We use Sun blades and > they've been working quite well. I did think about it, but I am only looking a 3 new servers and blades are FAR more expensive and space is not a serious problem for us. The 1855 is £2000 for chassis plus 3 x £2000 for the servers total of £8000 wheras a pair of 1425's and a 2850 is only about £4500, also my option requires 4U where the 1855 needs 7U so in my case the blade isn't really an option either in cost or space. -- Jay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:192957 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
