When You Should Buy Blades Servers

 

TCOnow! for Blades Servers will help you configure a blades server environment and evaluate whether blades can reduce the cost of your datacenter.  By answering a limited number of questions, TCOnow! will generate a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) comparison for rolling out new Windows applications or consolidating up to 5 different applications on HP ProLiant DL rack servers or on IBM Blade Center, Intel Enterprise, and even HP ProLiant BL blade servers.  Storage choices including ATA-IDE, small form factor SCSI, and storage area networking mean that you can evaluate your datacenter in terms of both processor and disk storage density.

Certainly savings on racks and power are important, but TCOnow! also takes into account networking, high performance computing requirements, management software, management, and even the time needed to replace a failed server.  This complete analysis is made possible because the software is packed with data on performance, pricing, and downtime for hundreds of servers. If you are trying to decide if you should purchase Blades Servers, then this is the product for you!
