We know the competition left you stranded after your last blade investment, but you don't have to be. With IBM® BladeCenter®, we offer you true investment protection. Our dynamic blade server infrastructure leverages universal components, shared with servers contained within a chassis, which can be upgraded or replaced over time.
For a limited time only, if you have a qualifying HP, Dell or Sun chassis installed, you can receive a new IBM BladeCenter E, H or S chassis at no charge to replace it.
IBM BladeCenter H is a powerful platform built with the enterprise customer in mind, providing industry-leading performance, innovative architecture and a solid foundation for virtualization.
Features include:
Delivers high performance to run the most demanding applications and simulations at blazing-fast speeds;
Provides easy integration to promote innovation and help manage growth, complexity and risk;
Protects your investment by being compatible with the entire IBM BladeCenter® family.
IBM BladeCenter S is an all-in-one chassis with integrated storage and networking options to simplify infrastructure complexity and manageability while helping lower total cost of ownership.
Features include:
Integrates servers, storage, networking, I/O and applications into a single chassis
Uses standard office power plugs with 100–240V, so you do not need a datacenter to take command of your data
Flexible modular technology integrates Intel® and AMD Opteron™ processor-based blade servers supporting a wide range of operating systems
Comes with management tools that are open and easily integrated, allowing you to focus on your business, not your IT
Helps build greener IT infrastructures with powerful IBM Cool Blue™ technology, and a portfolio of products and tools to help you plan, manage and control power and cooling
Our BladeCenter systems integrate servers, storage and networking, to offer up to 31% more density than the competition to help you reduce complexity, improve power and cooling and simplify management.
