Why do telecom companies watch Blade servers?

The server recently heard a sharp increase in the blade server market, especially in industries such as telecommunications, where the market growth rate of blade servers exceeded 100%. Blade server products into the Chinese market in the early days, I personally determined that the user will be loved, but did not expect to be in 2 years or so in time to be accepted by Chinese users, and formed a procurement of blade server boom. From then on, it can be seen that Chinese users have been waiting to wait and see in the past when facing new technologies.

is changing, and the idea of actively trying new technologies and new products to create value for businesses has begun to be established.

Blade server The most intuitive feature is compared with the tower server, small size, good management. Small size of course will allow the data center room to save a lot of space. For telecommunications users, it is obvious that the room space is also a need for cost, with a tower server must occupy a huge space, which is often the data center left us a large number of large cabinets impression of the reasons. If the use of Blade server This situation will be very intuitive changes. Because blade servers are designed in a standard chassis, a standard chassis accommodates a large number of blades, which are inserted into the chassis like blades, with blades plugged into a tower that is much larger than a tower server. That is to say, the number of blades in the same space is stored dozens of times times the tower server, it is conceivable that the operator's data center room will save a lot of space.

For some new entrants to the market, blade servers are more alluring. Because the blade server is plugged into the standard chassis, the new telecom service provider can choose the appropriate number of blades according to their own business needs, without the need to be in place, the number of blades is dynamically adjusted during the gradual growth of business requirements, Do not worry because the server capacity is too large idle caused by waste of resources, to maximize benefits.

One feature of the blade server is better manageability. With the competition of telecom market becoming more and more high, telecom enterprises should continue to launch new business, and demand faster. The complexity of telecom services puts forward higher requirements for data center devices, many of which are developed on top of different system platforms, while Blade server is a flexible choice. Blade servers can take a variety of operating systems and separate systems, and consolidation is a huge cluster of machines that will greatly shorten the time it takes to launch new business for telecom companies. In addition, the blade server greatly reduced the Computer Management staff, the general Tower server room managers need more than 10 people, and blade server room only need three or four people to complete, a year to save the human cost of nearly 1 million yuan. In addition, the blade server more power than the tower server, although the difference is not very large per unit time, but the demand for year-round 24-hour data center, the difference is also a huge number of electricity.
