Benefits of a Blade Server

Benefits of a Blade Server

• 
  Power Consumption – In many cases the chassis for the Blade Server will supply the power to multiple servers, reducing total consumption.
  

• 
  Hot Swappable – Blade servers can be configured to be hot swappable so if one blade has a problem, it can be pulled and replaced much more easily. This helps to facilitate redundancy.
  

• 
  Less Need for Cables – Rather than having to run individual cables for each server, blade servers can have one cable (often fiber) run to the chassis, thus reducing the total cable requirements.
  

• 
  Processing Power – Blade Servers can provide an extremely high processing power while taking up minimal space
