Este documento presenta las capacidades y ventajas de los servidores IBM System x y BladeCenter. Estos productos ofrecen alta densidad, protección de la inversión del cliente a través de compatibilidad multiplataforma y alta disponibilidad mediante la redundancia de componentes clave. IBM lidera la industria en densidad de servidores y cuenta con el ecosistema más amplio de switches compatibles.
Just to outline the true potential of blades, let me take you through the evolution of a blade infrastructure – from complexity to simplicity in five steps.
1- Consolidate the servers (advance slide)
2- Integrate the Storage Fabric (advance slide)
3- Integrate the first layer of the network (advance slide)
4- Integrate the second layer of the network (advance slide)
5- Consolidate the appliance applications (advance slide)
As you can see, BladeCenter is ready to run the network – top to bottom. It’s an easy slide-in, slide-out solution that lets you add exactly what you need, when you need it. And, many customers are already taking advantage of our BladeCenter solutions.
First when you look at the server environment today many customers have multiple processor technologies, workloads and OS technologies.
IBM offers one of the largest portfolio of technologies in the industry:
IBM has Intel based blades (Please do not go into any detail on Intel based blades as this is an AMD sponsored) event
LS20 will take us to the end of 1Q 2007 using AMD Rev E technology
LS21 and LS41 use AMD Ref F technology and support 2 socket and 4 sockets respectively
For those customers looking for AIX/Linux JS20 and JS21 offer great alternatives using PowerPC technology
IBM Engineering & Technology Services division is showcasing the breakthrough eight-core Cell Broadband Engine (BE) based Processor blade. Target markets: high performance workloads including but not limited to digital media, medical imaging, aerospace, defense, and communications.
IBM also support a variety of operating systems like Windows, Linux, AIX and Solaris is server proven and on Sun Hardware compatibility list.
Next is the Layer 2 Ethernet switches which are found in almost every customers environment. IBM offers choice of Cisco and Blade Network Technologies formerly Nortel. In addition IBM offers a Server Connectivity Module which is a fixed Ethernet device that some Networking folks like to help them maintain networking control. IBM also is the first blade vendor to offer and ship a 10Gb Ethernet switch.
By integrating the switch: customer can reduce rack space requirements and significantly reduce cable clutter all of which can help reduce deployment time and on going management.
IBM is still the only vendor that offers Layer 4-7 inside the chassis. When you look at over 80% of customer environments, they have Layer 2-7 in their environment. IBM and Nortel actually did performance analysis on internal vs. external and say performance as high as 60% better via an integrated switch vs. a similar Nortel switch external. That was also at a fraction of the price.
With over 50% of customer either having SAN’s or looking closely at implementing SAN’s. IBM has offered for over a year true end-to-end 4Gb performance from the HBA on the blade, a 4Gb midplane (10Gb on BCH), 4Gb FC switches and TotalStorage 4Gb storage devices. Some of our competitors don’t support 4Gb adapters or switches, some of our competitors chassis only support 2Gb backplanes resulting in no 4Gb inside its chassis.
BladeCenter helps you simplify your infrastructure and gain control of your IT. The first picture shows a typical data center. Many different servers, operating systems and processor types, each with their own unique tools for management. External SAN and LAN switching with tons of bulky and/or costly cables—all costing U space in the rack, drawing power and slowing your time to production.
BladeCenter consolidates all of this into a single high-availability solution with common management—no matter what processor or operating system you need to run your applications. We also built switching for data and storage right into the chassis helping to reduce clutter, save cost and speed deployment. We reduced the number of power supplies and PDU cables. We completely cut out the cost of KVM switching with the AMM, and we drove down power consumption, heat output and floor space. It's a simply smarter way to gain control.

Investment protection is the name of the game for BladeCenter.
Sparc blade from Themis
8 core, single socket, low power, low performance, on their long life embedded platform
Went through Blade.org
It will not have an IBM part # or IBM warranty
It is to help customers who are on sparc with a migration path
On the left you see IBM BladeCenter with complete redundancy.
On the right you can see that HP is lacking redundant connections for both power and I/O. If one of these connectors goes down, this could compromise the blade. It’s like taking a high-availability server and attaching it to a single PDU or switch. Both are single points of failure and could take down the entire blade.
If a fault occurs on PS 1 – that fault can travel very quickly to other PS on the bus – taking the solution down
