Blade servers have captured industry focus because of the modular design, which can reduce cost with a more efficient use of valuable floor space. Blades offer simplified management, which can help to speed up such tasks as installing, reprovisioning, updating, and troubleshooting hundreds of blade servers. You can do all of this remotely using one graphical console with IBM Director, the systems management tools.

The IBM BladeCenter boasts innovative modular technology, leadership density, and availability. It was designed to help solve a multitude of real-world problems. In addition, blade servers provide improved performance by doubling current rack density. By integrating resources and sharing key components, costs are decreased and availability is increased.
