The BladeCenter Story
All your employees need to go from office to the airport. How do they get there?
Take the bus? or all get in a separate taxi?
A bus is efficiency and low cost. 1 engine, 1 driver and many seats for passengers who all share the bus’s ‘resources’

Complete RedundancyDual I/O, Dual Power
No RedundancySingle I/O, Single Power
Virtualization drives the need for more RAS in the hardware
IBM BladeCenter = complete RAS – Redundant & hot-swap power supplies, blowers, switches, AMM– 4x completely separate and redundant wiring for power supplies– Redundant connectors from the blade to the mid-place for power and I/O– NO SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE
HP uses a 1 power & 1 I/O connector from the blade to the mid-plane– Either power or I/O connector goes down, server goes down– SINGLE POINT OF FAILURE

IBM BladeCenter chassis are built to lastBladeCenter designs to a high standard
BladeCenter is based on true N+N topology and has 2x N+N power delivery systems– Domain 1 has two supplies that are unconnected so faults can not travel from supply 1 to supply 3 – I can
loose a feed or a power supply for any reason and the chassis stays up and running– Domain 2 repeats this once again

Notes on consolidation calculations• Based on IBM actual, public results on HS22 & Intel internal analysis.• 1U rack server configuration: 2S 1C Xeon (3.8GHz 2MB cache) with 8x 1GB memory and 1 HDD – total power:
382W under load, SPECjbb2005 = 50,970 bops.• HS22 blade server configuration: 2S 4C Xeon X5570 (2.93GHz 8MB cache) with 6x 2GB memory and 1 HDD – total
power with chassis burden = 317W under load, SPECjbb2005 = 604,417 bops.• Power cost estimate used is US$0.10 kW-Hr.• New hardware cost estimate based on projected US list pricing for the HS22 and chassis infrastructure, including
14 blades, BladeCenter E chassis with redundant power and redundant advanced management module.• Software license cost for operating system & application estimate used is $1,000 per server.• Datacenter floor space cost estimate used is $500 per square foot, average 8 square feet per standard enterprise
42U rack.• ROI calculation solved for power cost savings + license cost savings + floor space cost savings = new hardware
acquisition cost.• IT footprint assumes standard 42U rack
