Blade servers allow more processing power in less space which simplifies cabling, storage, and maintenance. Blades are often used for grid computing. The advantage of blade servers is not only that one "cabinet" houses multiple servers that share power source and other components, but also from the consolidation of related resources, such as storage and networking equipment, into a smaller architecture than would be the case with a farm of regular servers.

3. Blade servers updated with the latest technologies - A good package
True, blade servers generate a lot amount of heat, difficult to configure and the high cost price ranges are not comparable to any other servers of the same origin. But these are the old news; when technology changes, the server world is under the transformational phase, why do not we move into the world of blade servers that has become the hottest trends of the server market? The truth is that many of the data centers and enterprise environments have deployed the blades which works as an excellent substitute for its counterparts like rack mount servers. Let us look up into some probing questions and answers (dictated by the experts in the field) to clear out the myths that have been surrounding the blade-server virtualization environment for quite a long period of time:
Virtualization and blades: are they a complementary package?
Server virtualization on a blade “ambience” can double or triple the benefits. Instead of consolidating the server environment in a single physical space, the distributed management of them would be a cost- effective approach. Considering the pros, includes the following: High utilization of the available servers. The hardware / software combination can yield high profitability, in terms of cost and performance.
4. Saves space in the disks, less floor space than the rack mount servers. Hot-swappable blades are available; which can detriment the heat effect
Vendor-lock in issue: Have the problem emerged as a barrier for the IT managers to accommodate blades?
Having discussed about the barrier respondent list to the IT managers, they have come to the below conclusion
“Better than traditional 1U servers which takes half of the server space, vital resources like the switches and cards are shared on a random basis, giving way to a more centralized system; but the vendor-lock in issue still lies as a major hindrance affecting profitability to a great extent”.
The reliable solution, which can be taken in this regard is to choose blade vendors, corresponding to the server vendors. Most of the blade chassis supports multiple configurations with different processors and storage capabilities.
How to prevent over consolidation on blade servers?
Virtualization tools, widely available in the market now can help in over- consolidating of the blades. The most common available is CiRBA’s Data Center Intelligence Software which helps in accessing data about server infrastructure like memory and disk storage.
