Blade Solutions

Performance, Power Savings, Flexible Features

Dell blades provide an unequalled combination of performance, power savings and flexibility.

The advantages of Dell blades are:

  • Our blade solution offers the best performance per watt in the industry.
  • Our patented FlexAddress technology ties Media Access Control (MAC) and World Wide Name (WWN) addresses to blade slots — not to servers or switch ports — so reconfiguring your setup is as simple as sliding a blade out of a slot and replacing it with another.
  • Our I/O (input/output) options provide throughput equal to or better than the competition — without making you buy excess switches.
  • Our modular I/O options give you the flexibility to adapt to the latest technologies.
  • Our full-height blades are the only ones in the industry that offer fully redundant I/O to the motherboard.
