Supermicro’s blade offerings are being touted as the best solution for a environmentally friendly clustered solution. CRN ranks their blades above the offerings of IBM and Dell. I’m anxious to see what other tricks they have up their sleeves. Obviously the answer is simple: Take their proven blade servers and shrink them even further to improve TCO and space management.
Obviously there are plenty of 4U blade servers out there, so when is Supermicro going to join the ranks? They already produce slim dual processor motherboards that feature in their 1U Twin servers, so two-thirds of the battle is already won. I’d definitely be waiting with the credit cards if a 4U blade was released. Maybe they could send me an engineering sample?
