Comment blades (Score 1) 264

I use blade servers every day and I love them. You are correct in saying that blade servers are not the right choice for every installation. We calculated that after 7 servers it is cheaper to buy a blade chassis than separate 1u servers. -blade servers don't work for any application that requires a special card (ie a T1 card for a VOIP server) -the CD rom etc collects dust for the 5 years after the OS is installed -iLo lets you attach the CD/DVD from the workstation you are iLo-ing from to the server to install the OS -you can also install from a USB CD -I can go 2 months between physical visits to our DataCenter. This is important if you have a HotSite or CoLocation for Disaster Recovery.
