IBM POWER BladeServer Teknisk Goodies Dag Nyheder (IBM Bladeserver & IBM BladeCenter) POWER Blade kan afvikle IBM i (OS/400) Kan M3 afvikles på POWER Blade med IBM i? Er der ting som man skal være opmærksom på med IBM POWER Blade? Kan jeg lave helt de samme ting på POWER Blade som jeg gør i dag på en traditionel POWER server (AS/400) ?

Opsummering IBM Bladeservere er billige i strøm (Grøn-IT), samt enkelt administration. Med IBM Bladeserver samles data på et SAN-system. Der skal kun udvides et sted. HOT spare funktioner / HA løsning Alt i en BOX IBM POWER Blade servere, skal have dedikeret disk-arme tilsluttet fra SAN’et. (XIV) IBM POWER Bladeserver er et ”server” produkt. Hardware service på POWER Bladeserver udføres af IBM’s server specialister, ikke System i teknikere. M3 er testet på POWER Blade og fungere tilfredsstillende, vi har dog ikke endnu en endelig sizing guideline. Vi ved at DISK-SAN (antal diske, samt SAN type) er en vigtig parameter.
