System X & P / Blade / Storage / SAN Hardware and Software Support at GEOCOM Uruguay S.A.

The features of this product that I value most are:

A datacenter in 8U; you can accommodate 14 servers in a BladeCenter H chassis.
Total redundancy in all its components: power, cooling, communications, fiber, administration and blades
Stacking features, you can configure several BladeCenters to have redundancy
Excellent support in case of any failure (and I am not saying this because I worked for IBM)
One point of management
The ability to combine Intel, AMD, and POWER blades

Central management of all blade servers and performance: It helps us to access blade servers remotely even at boot time, as well, when we can access the BIOS setup remotely. Other than that, we can restart and shut down blade servers from a single console.

Head of Data Center at a tech company with 51-200 employees

I recommended the purchase of an IBM BladeCenter S Chassis with four HS 22 Blade Servers and 1 Disk storage system. I came up with the recommendation after reviewing other blade servers at that time. The other option was an HP C3000 with BL460 blade servers. What sold me with the BladeCenter S was the built-in disk storage system. For me, this is a great feature as you technically have a direct-attached disk storage system on the blade system itself. This for me was the better option than the HP C3000, as there is no need any more to buy a separate disk storage system. View full review »
