In stark contrast to its SBC brethren, the ZimaBlade is specifically designed to act as a storage server. For starters, the base model packs an x86 Intel Celeron N3350 CPU that operates at a mere 6W of power. On the memory front, you're looking at a single slot that can support up ...
It quickly became clear that there was a need to boot via software iSCSI. Partners of VMware were developing blade chassis containing blade servers, storage and network interconnect in a single rack. The blades were typically diskless, with no local storage. The requirement was to have the blade...
Rack servers are mountable servers placed in metal frame racks. Rack servers are one of three primary form factors for servers, with the other two standards beingblade serversandtower servers. Asdata centersand IT professionals worked to develop improved methods for storing more servers while not s...

Single-Sided vPC Topology The access device can be any endpoint equipement (L2 switch, rack-mount server, blade server, firewall, load balancer, network attached storage [NAS] device). Only prerequisite for the access device is to support portchanneling (or link aggregation) technology: ● LA...
22 Best Practices for DB2 on AIX 6.1 for POWER Systems PowerVM provides advanced virtualization capabilities to your Power System or Power Blade server. It exists in editions as shown in Figure 1-7. Figure 1-7 PowerVM Editions Express Edition The Express ASE edition allows you to use only ...
Specifically, N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) allows many clients (servers, guest, or hosts) to use a single physical port on the SAN. Each of these communications paths from server (virtual or otherwise) is a data flow that must be considered when planning for how many interswitch links ...
Sometimes, such as with blade servers that do not have internal disk drives, booting from SAN may be the only option. However, many ESXi hosts can have internal mirrored drives, providing the flexibility of choice. The benefits of booting from SAN are obvious—it alleviates the need for ...
This application allows you to use USB devices in virtual environments, over RDP, and in blade servers. VMware, VMware ESX, Citrix XenDesktop and Microsoft Hyper-V are all supported by USB Network Gate. This application is truly a cross-platform solution as USB Network Gate fully supports the...
