Total redundancy in all its components: power, cooling, communications, fiber, administration and blades. One point of management.

What is most valuable?

The features of this product that I value most are:

  • A datacenter in 8U; you can accommodate 14 servers in a BladeCenter H chassis.
  • Total redundancy in all its components: power, cooling, communications, fiber, administration and blades
  • Stacking features, you can configure several BladeCenters to have redundancy
  • Excellent support in case of any failure (and I am not saying this because I worked for IBM)
  • One point of management
  • The ability to combine Intel, AMD, and POWER blades

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using, installing, and implementing this solution for eight years.

We use it as a virtualization server with ESX. We provide telecom services on it.

Product version discussed: HS21 and HS22
It offers central management of all blade servers and performance.

What is most valuable?

Central management of all blade servers and performance: It helps us to access blade servers remotely even at boot time, as well, when we can access the BIOS setup remotely. Other than that, we can restart and shut down blade servers from a single console.

What needs improvement?

The blade center and blade server’s hardware firmware upgrade should be easy.

The hardware firmware upgrade option of blade servers and chassis should include the blade center admin console itself.

    It's enabled us to run critical applications, back up of critical data, and storage systems on the same products without downtime issues that could otherwise be caused by hardware/software issues.

    How has it helped my organization?

    The servers have enabled us to run critical applications, back up of critical data, and storage systems on the same products without downtime issues that could otherwise be caused by hardware/software issues.

    What needs improvement?

    Warranty extension may be required at times. After the warranty elapses, IBM can organize this so that clients who are still using servers or any other IBM products, can continue using the products.
