What is a “Blade” A “server on a card” – each “Blade” has
its own:► processor► networking► memory► optional storage► etc.
The chassis provides shared:► Console Access (KVM)► Power Supplies► Cooling► Network Connectivity (SAN/LAN/Myrinet
Switches)► CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive► diskette drive
IBM Blade - in its own rugged-ized chassis
IBM Blade - with its cover on - ready for insertion into the BladeCenter

Gigabit Ethernet Switches (Layer 2-3)► D-Link, Cisco, Nortel
► Commodity level networking
► Link aggregation
► VLAN creation and management
Nortel Layer 2-7 Switch► Advanced networking
► Content-based routing
Fibre Channel Switches (2/4Gb FC Fabric)► Brocade, McData, Qlogic
► Potentially lower cost via integration
► Full support of FC-SW-2 standards
Power (4 x 2000W load-balancing)► Upgradeable as required
► Redundant and load balancing for high availability
Calibrated, vectored cooling™► Highly fault tolerant
► Status Monitoring/PFA
► Allow maximum processor speeds
KVM Switches / Management Modules► Full remote video redirection► In many cases out-of-band / lights out systems management
