Deployment of blade servers

Plan to meet at least the minimal hardware and software requirements for deploying blade servers, firmware, device drivers, and operating systems.

  • Hardware considerations for blade servers
    You can order optional hardware for blade servers that will be installed in a BladeCenter S system. The optional hardware available depends on the blade server that you are installing.
  • Operating system considerations
    Several operating systems are supported for each blade server that can be installed in a BladeCenter S system.
  • Application considerations
    Information about some of the applications that you can deploy on blade servers are provided in IBM® redpieces, redpapers, and blueprints.
