It is kind of funny when I talk to customers about blade servers. They are really jazzed about packing more servers in the same space. But with blades comes other issues — managing power and cooling. Denser environments usually mean more power and more cooling, rather than less. So are these ideas – blades and managing P&C – mutually exclusive? Aaron Hanson, senior manager PowerEdge Blade servers at Dell, doesn’t think so, as he says in his podcast. Is he right?
