Blade Servers

Using blade servers managed by Telefonix Voice & Data allow more processing power in less rack space, simplifying cabling and reducing power consumption. According to a recent SearchWinSystems.com article on server technology, enterprises moving to blade servers can experience as much as an 85% reduction in cabling for blade installations over conventional 1U or tower servers. With less cabling, IT administrators can spend less time managing the infrastructure and more time ensuring high availability.

Whereas a standard rack-mount server can exist with (at least) a power cord and network cable, blade servers have many components removed for space, power and other considerations while still having all the functional components to be considered a computer. A blade enclosure, which can hold multiple blade servers, provides services such as power, cooling, networking, various interconnects and management - though different blade providers have differing principles around what should and should not be included in the blade itself (and sometimes in the enclosure altogether). Together these form the blade system.
