IBM BladeCenter Platform
During the development of IBM BladeCenter, IBM worked closely with clients to ensure that IBM BladeCenter's innovative modular technology and leadership density and availability were designed to help solve a multitude of real-world problems.
IBM BladeCenter remains an innovative solution to running business solutions. IBM BladeCenter builds on the IBM commitment to integrating server, storage and networking functionality with technology exchange and heterogeneous management. IBM BladeCenter offers the ease, density, availability, affordability, and scalability that are central to the blade technology promise.
Blade servers have captured industry focus because of their modular design, which can reduce cost with a more efficient use of valuable floor space, and its simplified management, which can help to speed up such tasks as deploying, reprovisioning, updating, and troubleshooting hundreds of blade servers. In addition, blade servers provide improved performance by doubling current rack density. By integrating resources and sharing key components, not only will costs be reduced but also availability will be increased.

VMware ESX Server
Create the foundation for building a dynamic, self-optimizing data center with VMware ESX Server. ESX Server abstracts processor, memory, storage and networking resources into multiple virtual machines, giving you greater hardware utilization and flexibility. Production-proven at thousands of customers of all sizes, ESX Server delivers the highest levels of performance, scalability and flexibility.
Start Achieving the Benefits of Virtualization
- ESX Server installs on the “bare metal” and allows multiple unmodified operating systems and their applications to run in virtual machines that share physical resources.
- Each virtual machine represents a complete system, with processors, memory, networking, storage and BIOS.
- Advanced resource allocation policies for virtual machines allow you to guarantee resources to even your most resource-intensive applications.
