Why has IBM held a full-year market share lead in BladeCenter technology1 for four consecutive years? Because they outperform the competition. IBM BladeCenter offers up to 40% greater bandwidth per blade than other systems. They also require less power and are easier and less costly to cool, offering energy saving of up to 24 percent over comparable systems and as much as 30-40% over individual 1U servers2.

An IBM BladeCenter simplifies your operation, improves reliability and cuts operating costs. How does DSI know? We did it ourselves. DSI uses IBM System i, IBM System x and IBM BladeCenter in our technology infrastructure to run our global business operations.

What can an IBM BladeCenter do for you?

The IBM BladeCenter is designed to deliver exceptional availability, simplified manageability and outstanding performance. Virtualization allows many applications or services to run independently on the same physical hardware. Virtualization technology consolidates many physical servers into fewer servers which support the same applications in virtual environments using a common, redundant hardware platform. You get high reliability at a more affordable cost. Using the revolutionary scalability of BladeCenter technology with virtualization enables you to build a cost-effective, flexible IT infrastructure to meet your application and server needs both today and tomorrow. This new line of 64 bit-enabled servers allows you to run 32 bit applications today and migrate to 64 bit applications when you need to support future, high-volume processing demands.
