Editor's Notes
- #8: blade server is a stripped-down server computer with a modular design optimized to minimize the use of physical space and energy. Blade servers function well for specific purposes such as web hosting, virtualization, and cluster computing. Individual blades are typically hot-swappable. As users deal with larger and more diverse workloads, they add more processing power, memory and I/O bandwidth to blade servers.
