Overview
Organizations are using blades increasingly for virtualization projects and data center consolidations. But for many data centers, the increased engineering headaches associated with blades outweigh the benefits. This dynamic guide outlines trends, benefits and drawbacks to help you determine if and how blade servers fit into your data center strategy.

Explore this learning guide to learn what experts are saying about the following questions, and more:

▪ Are blade servers a viable alternative to rack servers?
▪ Has blade technology-specifically licensing considerations, workload capacity, and vendor lock-in-matured far enough?
▪ How do blade servers increase server deployment density and lower hardware and power costs?
▪ What are the cooling considerations for blade servers?
