The report, which focuses on North America and the EMEA region, indicates that the market is being driven by the need to reduce the cost of network infrastructure and maintenance.

According to Technavio’s industry analyst, “One of the major drivers for organizations opting for blade servers is the need to reduce the overall capital and operating costs of managing enterprise infrastructure. Networking devices are increasing in functionality with the evolution of technology and though this trend has increased the cost of the devices, the overall ability of blade servers to integrate servers, storage, and management has still helped reduce the overall cost of the infrastructure.” SBWIRE

The new storage system offers a single high-bandwidth gateway between the server and the “render-wall” – the array of blade processors which assemble a scene from its graphic and real-world component parts. This will make it easier to pull together the elements of the scene, says Workshop FX IT manager John McMullen. COMPUTERWORLD

Since entering the data center server market in 2009, and effectively declaring war on former partners HP, IBM and Dell, Cisco has captured third place in x86 blade server shipments worldwide as of the first quarter of 2011, according to the IDC report “IDC Worldwide Quarterly Server Tracker,” May 2011, and second place in the United States.

And I think the company is missing a big opportunity to re-engage in a big way with those midrange customers.

What got me to thinking about this, of course, was last week’s launch by Big Blue of the mini mainframe called the System zEnterprise 114, which has five or 10 mainframe engines and MIPS that range from 26 to 3,100 running z/OS, z/VM, or z/VSE workloads. ITJUNGLE

This is due to the maturity of the x86-based blade server market, which is slowly reaching saturation levels.

IDC’s EMEA Quarterly Server Tracker 1Q11 data, showed firms in Western Europe spent $1.8 billion in 2010 on x86 blade servers, for the first time, spending on blade machines grew at a slower pace (18 percent year-on-year) compared to traditional and scale-optimised rack machines (37 percent year-on-year).
