Deep dive into server technologies

Free whitepaper – Creating Order from Chaos in Data Centers and Server Rooms
This is the first Infosmack Deep Dive podcast, hosted by Nigel Poulton, the infrastructure inquisitor, with co-host Rick Vanover and guests Kevin Houston and Bob Plankers.
The idea of the Deep Dive came from Nigel who wanted to hear more in-depth material about specific technologies. We told him, "OK, Go!" and here we are...
Among the topics Nigel and guests discuss this week are:
- The prevailing assumptions about blade and rack servers,
- the I/O capabilities of blades and racks,
- scalability concerns
- management considerations
- relative cost of server technologies
- and a wish list for future server products.
On with the show.
