With IBM innovationin cooling through cool blue, the staff canreduce air conditioning costs as well. With new blades, the JS21 andHS20, the data center can improve performanceand reduce wasted resources.

With a 10Gb I/O infrastructure, BladeCenter can now execute AIX, Linux, Solaris,and Windows applications faster, providing mission-criticalbusiness solutions with the flexibilityto reduce administrative costs by a single point ofmanagement. With IBM eServer BladeCenter H, IBM hasintroduced an integrated, heterogeneous platform with higher performance and continued power andcooling advantages. Blade architectures also save in terms of floor space,enabling the enterprise to expand their processing capability without increasing the size of the datacenter.IBM has advanced its blade technology even further. Blade architectures reduce the TCO of the IT infrastructure, not only through consolidationand virtualization, but also through the economies gained by reducing the electrical requirements todrive enterprise IT and cool the data center. Through virtualization, asingle server can be divided into multiple partitions to better utilize a resource that would otherwise bewasted. Utilizing a concept of shared resources, multiple blade drawers canbe installed with heterogeneous processors supported by a common set of I/O controllers, storagedevices, and switches, in a single rack, where electrical power and administration can be consolidatedto lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) of IT resources for the enterprise.

One machine with dozens of choices,all controlled by a single control mechanism.The information technology (IT) industry has adopted this concept and taken one giant stepforward with bladed architectures. Once a week, a serviceman will come by, remove the cash and refill the slots that wereemptied, replacing what didn’t sell with a more popular choice. Potato chips or Smartfood, high-fat content or a healthy snack it is yourchoice. No cashier required, a single slot takes your money and gives you change, depending upon whatdynamic choice you make. However, instead yougo to the snack machine down the hall and view your choices, an interesting selection of heterogeneousfoods: candy bars from Hershey’s, snack pies from Hostess, chewing gum from Wrigley’s, chips, andmore. If you were at the mall you could stroll over to Krispy Kreme for a donut, or Mrs.Fields for a chocolate chip cookie, or even Godiva’s for some chocolate candy.
