ClearCube Blade Servers

As you know, everybody wants to be a blade vendor. As software moves increasingly to a web-based model, a larger and larger of the fraction of corporate computer spending is going to buy blades.

My company has been looking at a ClearCube Blade Server. The ClearCube blades offer an interesting twist on the standard blades, because they deliver full PC functionality to the user from a centralized location. The Blades are compact and house all the standard PC components including the latest Intel Pentium 4 and Xeon processors, memory, hard drives and video cards. ClearCube calls this the "blade workstation" concept. Ever user has an Ethernet port coupled to a display, keyboard, mouse, and peripherals. But the workstation is located on a blade in a centrally-managed rack. This arrangement allows tremendous flexibility for the user (who gets the full functionality of a PC) and powerful management tools for the IT department.
