Benefits of IBM BladeCenter Technology
With many benefits to offer, IBM BladeCenter technology is geared to helping you do all this:
Save money - With more computing power, BladeCenter allows you to run your applications on fewer servers. Consolidating servers means cutting costs from software licensing to electricity usage. Meanwhile, enhanced systems management helps lower operational costs while actively working to reduce power consumption.
Scale your business as you like - Updating your hardware can be done with minimal hassle. New blades and switches can be easily added to the chassis, so there's no need to rip and replace. Built on open standards, BladeCenter doesn't lock you into one network or hardware solution – giving you the flexibility to scale your business and IT as you choose.
Minimise downtime - BladeCenter's robust design means you have minimal risk of unplanned downtime. Predictive Failure Analysis warns you if a component is experiencing issues. And if one area does go down, BladeCenters have full redundancy built into every critical point of the chassis – so a component failure won't put your entire system out of action.
