Hello,
I am working on a VI project in an advisory role, customer wants to migrate their existing environment along with few new project to VI. Its a huge project where lots of hardware is going to be involved. We are looking for to adopt a better technology fron both Blades servers and commodity servers.
I personally feel that Commodity servers are better than Blade server, becoz:
-blades share the bandwidth when chassis is fully populated
- we are not free to choose enough Nics
- hardware expension issue
- etc.
on the other hand in servers:
- these are scale out technique which increases the foot prints
- Power consumption is more than blades
- but on all that I have freedom to get lots of hardware resourses
etc...
Anyone can provide me some more details on both technologies, their pros n cons and any idea/comments which could make my way easy towards choosing the right hardware.
Thanks in adavnce
