Fujitsu's PRIMERGY BX620 S4 Blade Server for Solving Server Consolidation Problems

Based on a technical analysis of about 9000 business talks given by Fujitsu for customers, the paper found that amid the ongoing IT system optimization at enterprises, blade servers had become an increasingly important IT platform for optimizing infrastructure. The paper also discovered that about 80% of the customers had introduced blade servers in order to consolidate their own servers. The customers expect this consolidation of servers to provide management with a global understanding of their IT systems, reduce the heavy workload that server operation imposes on user departments, and curtail IT investment costs in information system departments. However, server consolidation also entails such problems as a more complex network design and increased workload on an information system department.
