Will dell release any storage solution within blade ?
After study the whitepaper and compared to HP c-class system. Dell have no passive connection between blade and it only possible with I/O modules. But with some kind of SAS fabric module, it even can build whole storage solution using this blade enclosure. Consider storage blade using double-width, we got 2 x4 SAS connection to *each* I/O module act as in/out (or 4 x4 SAS but need 2 I/O module for redundancy). That fabric connect each half-height slot 1-in, 2-out, 3-in, 4-out, 5-in 6-out. Now it possible to get rid of MDx000 enclosure ;-) Does dell working on these ideas ? |

Hi everyone,
My customer (Andrew) and I have a question. He's very close to a purchase on the new M1000e enclosure but has will have to convert DC to AC to make it work. He specific questions are as follows.... "Cost of 220Volt AC inverter system?" >I've checked with Liebert...there working on this. Any other vendors that I could ask? "How much inefficiency does the inverting solution add - the inverting solution may be very efficient, but the overall conversion from 48volt DC to 220volt AC then back to the DC voltages inside the blade enclosure can add up to be quite inefficient overall. A blade enclosure that runs natively from 48volt DC power will be far more efficient without the need for the 220volt AC inverting steps." >I'd love to have anyone that's up for it jump on a call with Andrew and myself :-) |

a customer asked: " is it even possible to take these blades down to single CPU configuration like the 1950's were - I ask because we have an application that is licensed per CPU / per core... and 2 - quads per server is "too much cpu"... - is it possible through the bios of the blade to "off line" a cpu? "
Do you find this valuable?

As I understand the "cooling" for the M1000e our energy smart design enables a better performance per watt, but yields "more" heat to the hot isle in a datacenter compared to HP chassis.
Logic dictatates that this heat will be adequately "re-cooled" as it makes its way back to the cold isle and back throught the front of the chassis. That said, do we have documentation of the heat being "adequatley re-cooled"? |

Is there a "simulation demo" for the CMC GUI?
Like the simulator we have for the MD3000 mgmt GUI :-) |
