BladeCenter S and VMware Solution
Introducing IBM BladeCenter S Solutions: VMware virtualization for consolidation and high utilization to reduce cost, improve service and manage risk
Together, IBM and VMware pioneered the use of virtualization technology on x86 servers, and continue to offer the best performance and value to our customers through deeper integration of our technologies. See how that power is translated to the BladeCenter S. Transform your clients business with BladeCenter S running company critical applications on a true “datacenter in a box” without the complexity or cost of running as separate components in a data center. BladeCenter S combines servers, storage, networking and management and is perfect for offices with up to 1000 employees -- both distributed large enterprise sites and small and medium-sized companies. Add the power of VMware Virtualization and you can run 75+ application workloads without even using all six slots in the chassis. Customers can improve their productivity, simplify IT and drive down their total cost of ownership with virtualization solutions from IBM and VMware. With the new Shared Storage SAS RAID Controller Module for BladeCenter S, clients can now have a complete and redundant SAN right inside the chassis, getting rid of complexity and cost, and delivering a true all-in-one solution. This full-featured SAN fully supports VMware Infrastructure & VMotion including the ability to move live workloads without disruption.
Everything is completely redundant: power, cooling, even network switches.
