So is anyone using one of these new blade servers?

The Transmeta one is a bit over the top, but those using standard Intel hardware look interesting.

I'm waiting on some of those RLX blades.. They seem very cool. If they work it is a great way to get down to .2U per server!! :)

Would you mind shedding a little light on this?

I mean for those people who don't know what you're talking about...

(That wouldn't include me, of course :D, i'm always in the know)

:confused:

There are a few companies that make these computers on a "blade", with a special case you can put upto 330 (i think) servers in a 40U rack.

There are more but I can't think of them right now.

Compaq and HP have both announced but are not yet shipping. Coventive has one. Egenera has announced but are not shipping.

I seem to have misplaced at least one other link.

Does anyone know of co-lo's accepting blade chasis servers? Do the charge you for the same amount of space or do they want more?
