INTRODUCTION Blade servers are a revolutionary new concept for enterprise applications. It accommodates a large number of servers and switches in one chassis at high density. To operate a large number of servers in highly reliable and cost effective way. Reduces operating expense while increasing services density. Dell, Hewlett Packard, IBM, RLX, and Sun offer blade server solutions.

HARDWARE CONFIGURATION

EXPLANATION The hardware of blade server contains the following elements, that are given down Chassis (exterior): o Server blade o Switch blade o Management blade o Middle plane

Advantages  Space utilization  Power consumption  Failover capability  Flexibility  Deployment  Scalability

Dis-advantages  Expensive configuration  Economies of scale  Vendor-lock  Heating and Cooling

METHOD OF SOLVING PROBLEM

CONCLUSION Blade servers can greatly improve the reliability of business systems. Provisioning realizes swift action and efficient resource utilization when faults and load increases occur. In order to realize provisioning, resource management for configuration management, pool management, and automation is indispensable. System walker Resource Coordinator offers provisioning solutions on blade servers. In the future, provisioning solutions will have extended support ranges and these new solutions will form the basis of autonomic provisioning.
