IBM BladeCenter Outperforms HP Blades
more information

IBM is the established leader in today's blade market. In fact there are 4.5 times as many IBM BladeCenter servers installed as HP c-Class servers. If you have these HP servers installed, you need to examine the potential cost savings and the increased performance of the IBM BladeCenter.

Dynamix Group has selected IBM BladeCenter technology as today's leader in the marketplace

  • IBM has the widest choice of compatible chassis, blade servers, storage and networking offerings in the industry.
  • IBM protects customer investments with backward compatibility. For example, the IBM BladeCenter E chassis, that has been on the market since 2003, supports the latest IBM blade server offerings and will continue to be supported by IBM through 2012. The IBM BladeCenter H chassis supports every blade that has been manufactured by IBM, from the single-core blades of 2003 to the six-core blades coming in 2009. By contrast, other competitive blade products have lacked backwards compatibility, with the average lifespan of these blade chasses being approximately two years.

rack-dense blade platform on the market today.
IBM BladeCenter's open standards allow IBM to offer customers the broadest selection of blade products and support from vendors such as:

  • Brocade
  • Cisco
  • QLogic
  • Nortel
  • Emulex
  • NetXen
  • Voltaire
  • Silverstorm

 

IBM's Open Fabric Manager provides customers application availability with automatic blade failover. Customers can use IBM's Open Fabric Manager to create blade failover pools that span across 100 BladeCenter chassis – or up to 1400 blade servers – and can be deployed on an existing fabric. This means if your shop is standardized on Cisco, you can continue using Cisco switches; if your shop is standardized on Nortel you can use Nortel switches.

  • Dynamix Group has helped more than 70 customers migrate from HP/Dell to IBM System x and BladeCenter, resulting in the migration of several thousand servers to this IBM technology.
  • Typical cost savings migrating from HP/Dell to IBM BladeCenter is more than 30% (from cost, power, cooling and space).
